The NRICH maths problem will get students into statistics without them necessarily needing to engage in detailed calculation.

Students are asked if a set of statistical statements sometimes, always or never true? If they are only sometimes true, can they give examples or conditions under which they are true and under which they are false. It will lead to a better intuitive grasp of statistics, which will inevitably lead to a better grasp of various statistical techniques. The questions are approximately listed in order of difficulty.
