Survey Solver
Unlock the Secrets Hidden in Data!
Data is everywhere, but can you decode it? Survey Solver turns Statistics into a detective game.
Designed for Key Stage 2 (Years 3 to 6), this game challenges students to interpret various forms of data representation—from simple Bar Charts to complex Data Tables.
đź“Š How to Play
- Examine the Data: A new chart appears representing a survey (e.g., "Favorite Pets").
- Read the Question: "How many more people chose Dogs than Cats?"
- Analyze: Look at the bars. Dogs = 10, Cats = 6. Calculate the difference (10 - 6 = 4).
- Submit Answer: Tap the correct number to solve the case and earn points!
đź“š Curriculum Focus (Statistics)
Survey Solver comprehensively covers the Statistics requirements for KS2:
- Data Interpretation Interpret and construct simple pictograms, tally charts, block diagrams and simple tables.
