Teachers at Cuffley School share three of their best lesson ideas about data handling. Year 3 turn data about their favourite school meals into a human bar graph. At The Wroxham School, Year 4 are doing Olympic Maths. They have to measure and record long jumps, high jumps and target practice using a beanbag. They photograph and video their results then turn their data into Venn diagrams and graphs for analysis, and find their Olympic Maths Champions! Year 3 are collecting data about time. They have a Tardis in their classroom. The children go inside to estimate when thirty seconds has elapsed. Other activities include: counting how many times you can write your name and how many times you can jump on the spot in 30 seconds. At the end of the lesson the data is turned into a graph on the interactive whiteboard.
