What the
Average Hides

Probability and statistics knowledge mat (PDF)

Why 'without replacement' changes the whole calculation — and when the mean is the wrong average to quote. Probability with a tree diagram drawn without replacement; which average and why, with a box plot; samples, charts, Venn diagrams and correlation; six questions to ask before you calculate anything; a worked probability without replacement. Twelve terms to define, a model answer on a mean far above a median, and the misconceptions that cost marks.

    Cover of What the Average Hides

    One landscape A4 page on one topic, built around one idea a class can hold onto. It carries a tree diagram without replacement, which average and why, a box plot, sampling, charts, Venn diagrams, correlation and a worked probability — then the vocabulary, a worked exam-style answer and the misconceptions that cost marks.

    No photographs, on purpose: there is no archival photograph of a percentage, and a stock image of a calculator would make the sheet worse. Every figure is drawn in code for the sheet — a bar model, a graph, a tree diagram — so nothing on it is licensed from anybody and nothing is AI-generated. Every claim is sourced to the DfE subject content and its Appendix of formulae, and nothing is reproduced from a past paper, a textbook or a specification.

    Sold by subject: all four mathematics sheets for one price. A knowledge organiser stores a unit and is revised from afterwards; this is meant to be on the table while the work is happening.

    Written to
    The DfE GCSE mathematics subject content (DFE-00233-2013) and its Appendix of formulae. No photographs: every figure is drawn in code for the sheet, so nothing on it is licensed from anybody
