CRYPTO CRASH

Crypto Crash is a free Fast Forensics investigation that shows students how misleading averages and statistics can hide risk. Students analyse data, question “healthy” dashboards, and learn to decide which figures actually matter. A short, structured case designed to build calm, confident maths thinking — without guessing.

Why this case matters

Most students don’t lose marks because they “can’t do maths”. They lose marks because they accept numbers too quickly, choose the wrong method, or don’t notice what’s missing.
In Crypto Crash, students learn to slow down, question the data, and reach conclusions like an investigator — calm, logical, and evidence-based.

What you will practise in this case

Follow the chain

Students track how values change through multiple steps, helping them understand composite functions and avoid common exam mistakes..

Real percentage analysis

Apply percentage change to real data to test claims, compare outcomes, and spot when figures are being used to mislead.

Build the case

Students justify conclusions clearly, using maths as evidence — practising the kind of structured reasoning examiners reward.
