This unit introduces pupils to data and information. They will begin by using labels to put objects into groups, and labelling these groups. Pupils will demonstrate that they can count a small number of objects, before and after the objects are grouped. They will then begin to demonstrate their ability to sort objects into different groups, based on the properties they choose. Finally, pupils will use their ability to sort objects into different groups to answer questions about data.
This unit helps children develop computational thinking skills. They will learn to identify and create patterns.
In this unit the children will develop their data handling skills but making comparisons between objects in terms of their similarities and differences.
In this unit, the children collect and organise data to make pictograms.
In this unit, the children will collect data and create simple graphs. It introduces children to idea that data can be represented in different ways and that we use data to find out information
Data 2.2 Represent
Data 2.4 Sort
2.1 Survey
✔️ To understand why pictograms are useful.
✔️ To collect and organise information to solve a problem.
✔️I can use a table to create a pictogram representing information about a survey.
2.2 Represent
✔️To create a graph using digital tools
✔️ The children use digital tools to represent colours of sweets
2.3 Present
✔️To create a pictogram using collected data
✔️The children create a pictogram using a computer and given numerical data
2.4 Sort
✔️To understand the value of using a word processor to produce text
✔️ The children sort objects according to criterion
✔️ They produce a graph
✔️ They present what they have learnt from their graphs
