Dragonistics Data Cards

Students love learning mathematics and statistics with award winning Dragonistics data cards. Each data card represents a unique dragon with multivariate data. Explore relationships by sorting and organising a set of cards. Tables and graphs can be directly created. Activities practice maths skills such as addition, probability, comparison and problem solving. With Attribute and Value cards, Dragonistics can be used for mathematical activities and games across the curriculum. 

Dragonistics data cards are a versatile teaching tool which can be used in primary (elementary) school, middle school, high school, and for tertiary study. The dataset is designed to produce results similar to real datasets. This allows students to practice statistical investigation, drawing meaningful conclusions. The dataset is rich, allowing for multiple lessons. The data on each dragon card includes:

• Species
• Behaviour
• Gender
• Dangerous breath type
• Height
• Strength
• Age

Dragonistics can be used with the free mathematics and statistics learning activities, lesson plans and games on the Creative Maths' Free Resource page. Dragon Tug-of-War is a print-and-play that can be used as a stand-alone activity or using Dragonistics data cards to form the teams.

For a list of suggested resources to use at different levels, see the Teacher's Resource Guide. A sequence of videos gives more ideas for teaching with Dragonistics data cards.

The Dragon Games

Using beautifully designed dragon cards, The Dragon Games is a family game that appeals to all ages. Wranglers put the dragons through their paces over four easy-to-learn events to emerge champion dragon wrangler. The events are fun to play and help practise mathematics skills.

The Dragon Games is an excellent game for the classroom. It can be used with our free teaching resources to provide a number of learning activities and lessons.
