Fortnite Data Handling Investigation | KS2–KS3 Statistics | Pictograms, Averages & Bar Charts Worksh

Bring data handling lessons to life with this exciting Fortnite Loot Collection Data Investigation—perfect for KS2 & KS3 Maths, statistics units, and engaging end-of-term activities. This resource includes a full pictogram-based dataset, guided statistical questions, and opportunities for pupils to calculate totals, averages, range, mode, and more.

Students begin by interpreting the pictograms shown on page 2, where each symbol represents different types of loot points, rare items and explosive items. They then convert the pictograms into numerical totals, analyse data, calculate mean, median, mode and range (pages 3–4), and finish by creating a clear bar chart using the scaffolded templates on pages 5–6. Reflection questions on page 7 extend reasoning and comparison skills, helping students deepen understanding of data interpretation.

This practical, game-themed investigation strengthens core statistics skills while keeping pupils motivated through a fun Fortnite-inspired context. Ideal for classwork, guided practice, homework or cover lessons.
