Furbles started life as an idea for teaching statistics in an interesting way; it is also a great way to engage young learners in mathematics activities by looking at...

• shapes;
• numbers; and
  
• colours.
  

Learners can also see the relationship between data and visual interpretations such as...

• bar graphs;
• tables; and
• pie charts. 
  

There is no doubt that these would be great activities to use on an Interactive Whiteboard.
