Softdrinks is great as a starter to discuss conclusions on samples and I intend to use ‘German vs English’ as a starter later this week to discuss the interpretation and use of pie charts.(Update to follow!)
I love these tasks since they are truly rich(hence they rightly ‘live’ in your rich task list) and stimulate some really nice discussions.
Thanks for your blog again – it really makes me think about some of my favorite resources every weekend, too.

Would you recommend any tasks in particular for Statistics?

The Bowland mini-tasks contain a few very nice statistical tasks, too, I used some in lessons and they usually work really well. Bowland tasks come with the added bonus of lots of good questions and some assessment guidance against the key processes in maths!
