Who has the best results?
This Core Maths task explores how standardised scores can be used to make comparisons.
The materials include a list of pupils and their marks in different subjects. They also contain the mean and standard deviation scores for each subject. By standardising the scores the students can then find the mean of the standardised scores for each pupil and rank them.
