The Professional Teacher
Support for teaching professionals in the classroom and beyondEmbedding numeracy in the classroom

4th December 2015
I love this website from Tyler Vigen on "Spurious Correlations" in which there are lots of graphs showing relationships or correlations between one variable and another. The variables chosen are "spurious" and often a bit ridiculous, but are a great way to start a lesson in any subject whilst embedding some numeracy skills.
