Nappy Changing Challenge

The Nappy Changing Challenge from Cre8ate maths provides real data about students for analysis. They undertake a timed, practical, exercise of folding a towelling nappy and putting it onto a toy baby doll. Throughout the task students complete a form for the Nappy challenge and record their completed data in an excel file.

The class data is then used as the basis for an investigation. There are several suggestions which could be used as hypothesis and, once the class results have been analysed, they can be compared to data collected at a Cre8ate maths event.
