Pupils use histograms and boxplots to illustrate various continuous numerical variables in RStudio using a csv dataset.

Variables are values Spotify uses to categorise songs. Songs in the dataset and taken from a playlist.

A bit of fun included asking pupils to pick some songs that would suit the tastes of the person who created the playlist (me!). If you use this and pupils make suggestions let me know on Twitter at @bucksburnmaths.

To give pupils an idea of what tempo feels like I play them Juice by Lizzo which is 120 bpm. Also played them You Suffer by Napalm Death (1.3 seconds long) and Mogwai Fear Satan by Mogwai (16 minutes long) as a way of talking about outliers. Plus, any excuse to talk about the 1980s grindcore scene!
