QR Challenge: Maths scavenger hunt

Created using the ClassTools QR Treasure Hunt Generator

Teacher Notes

A. Prior to the lesson:

1. Arrange students into groups. Each group needs at least ONE person who has a mobile device.

2. If their phone camera doesn't automatically detect and decode QR codes, ask students to

3. Print out the QR codes.

4. Cut them out and place them around your class / school.


B. The lesson:

1. Give each group a clipboard and a piece of paper so they can write down the decoded questions and their answers to them.

2. Explain to the students that the codes are hidden around the school. Each team will get ONE point for each question they correctly decode and copy down onto their sheet, and a further TWO points if they can then provide the correct answer and write this down underneath the question.

3. Away they go! The winner is the first team to return with the most correct answers in the time available. This could be within a lesson, or during a lunchbreak, or even over several days!

Questions / Answers (teacher reference)

Question

Answer

1. Mean is an average where you add up all the numbers and divide by the number of numbers. Find the next QR code at: 3x1 30/2 16-3 8x2 7x3 4x5 10-1 7x2 4+38
2. Median is the middle of a list of numbers in numerical order. Find the next QR code at: 6-3 2-1 4+2 10-5 80/4 3+2 9x2 3x3 5-48
3. Mode is the most common value in a list of numbers. Find the next QR code at: 12-4 3x3 5x3+4 40-20 45/3 9x2 5x3+108
4. Bar charts should have a space between each column. Find the next QR code at: 36/2 5x1 3x1 10-5 4x4 5x3+5 3x3 30/2 7x28
5. Questionnaire questions should not be biased or the findings will not be reliable. Find the next QR code at: 8x2+3 5x3 6-3 11-2 30/2 24/2 13+2 10-3 45-208
6. Questionnaire questions can be open or closed to collect a wider range of data. Find the next QR code at: 24/2 27-18 1x2 6x3 2-1 15+3 30-58
7. Scatter graphs have a line of best fit to show patterns in data. Find the next QR code at: 1x1 9x2 40/28
8. Data is a collection of facts that can include words, letters or numbers. Find the next QR code at: 1+1 15-6 5x3 4x3 10+5 21/3 5x58
9. Discrete data can be counted and only includes numbers, for example, counting students in a class. Find the next QR code at: 25/5 56/4 14/2 6x2 18/2 38/2 4x28
10. Continuous data can be measured very precisely, for example, height, weight or speed. Find the next QR code at: 8x2 8x2+3 5x5 2+1 3x2+2 20-5 4x3 12+3 3x2+1 50-258
11. Categorical data can be grouped together and only includes words, for example, grouping by colour. Find the next QR code at: 3x3+4 10/2 12/3 18/2 2-18
