Ask “out of how many?”
See why a number needs context before it means much.
Statistics That Lie

Help your child understand what numbers really say.
The same numbers can tell very different stories. Simple examples help your child read graphs, question averages, and notice the information a headline leaves out.

SMALL STEPS. USEFUL DISCOVERIES.
What your child will explore
Read the whole graph
Compare different pictures of the same data and check the scale.
Look behind an average
Ask who was counted, how they were asked, and what the summary hides.
START WITH SOMETHING SMALL
Their first lesson
Out Of What?
A short number claim arrives without its context. Your child works out what is missing and writes the question that would help them understand it.
They finish with
Explore the $1 starting option Six numbers, and the missing question you wrote for each
GUIDANCE, WITH ROOM TO TRY
A lesson is more than a video.
Watch with Pip
A guided explanation introduces the idea and shows what to try.
Have a go
Explore examples, work through an activity, and explain their thinking.
Make it theirs
Keep their work and talk about what they discovered with you.
WHAT THEY WORK TOWARD
Four useful questions for the next big number.
Worked examples of numbers, graphs, and averages, ending with five claims they check for missing information. They practise explaining the numbers in ordinary words.
Four questions they will use on every number for the rest of their life
TAKE A LOOK INSIDE
One clear step at a time.
4 lessons. Open any lesson below to see what they will do.
01Out Of What?Find the missing context behind six number claims.
Twelve people got sick. Is that a lot? You cannot say - and that is the answer. Every number needs the thing it came out of, and most arrive with that part removed.
They finish with: Six numbers, and the missing question you wrote for each
02Where The Bottom GoesCompare two graphs of the same data and check their scales.
Fifty and fifty-two, drawn twice: nearly identical from zero, three times taller with the bottom cut to 49. The shape is the opinion; the axis is the fact.
They finish with: The same data drawn twice, and the three things you check on any graph
03Average Is A Hiding PlaceDiscover how the same average can hide very different groups.
Ten people, average pocket £11,000 - nine of them have five pounds. An average describes a group and can describe nobody in it, so the next question is always the spread.
They finish with: Two rooms with the same average, and the question that tells them apart
04Somebody Had To Go And CountAsk who counted, who was asked, what was asked, and who paid.
Every number was built by a person who chose who to ask, what to ask and what to publish. Four questions take apart almost any dodgy statistic.
They finish with: Five real-shaped claims, each with the four questions answered or marked missing

IS THIS THEIR NEXT ADVENTURE?
Made for ages 9–13.
For children who meet graphs and big numbers at school or online. Everyday examples introduce the ideas without advanced formulas.
Start together, follow their curiosity, and give them time to try things out.
A FEW THINGS PARENTS ASK
Good questions. Clear answers.
Is this an extra maths homework course?
The focus is understanding and asking questions, with simple numbers to work through. Children compare examples and explain what the figures mean rather than memorising formulas.
Do we need other AI tools or paid accounts?
No. This course’s videos and interactive activities are inside CreatorKids. You do not need to buy an AI tool or open an outside AI account.
What happens after the first lesson?
Your $1 buys Lesson 1 to keep and replay. Nothing renews automatically. If you choose the full course later, that payment is credited and the upgrade is $8.99.
Which purchase is right for our family?
Start with one lesson for $1, buy this whole course for $9.99, or choose library access for $19.99/month. The first two are one-time purchases. Membership renews monthly until you cancel.
Is there an annual membership?
Yes. The yearly option is $149/year for the same library access. You can compare it with the monthly option on the membership page. Membership access continues through your paid period if you cancel; separately purchased courses remain yours to revisit.
Does my child need to finish on a schedule?
No. Lessons are self-paced. Pause for an activity, replay an explanation, and come back when it suits your family. A course you buy outright is yours to keep; membership access lasts while subscribed.
What will we need, and should I help?
An internet connection and a browser. A laptop or tablet gives the activities more room. A parent handles the purchase; children can follow the guidance at their own pace, with a trusted adult nearby for questions. Some activities invite a family conversation.
