Help videos: using Excel and GeoGebra for statistics

These short videos demonstrate a range of useful techniques for using Excel and GeoGebra for statistics in GCSE and A level Mathematics, including the large data sets. Most of the videos are less than 5 minutes in length. The data sets used in the videos are not related to any exam specification; they have been chosen to illustrate the techniques.
