7.5 (Data Handling) DfES 0447/2002

Unit 7.5 is a unit about data handling for Year 7. It allows you to review pupils' learning from Key Stage 2 and to introduce them to some of the ICT Framework objectives in the theme 'Finding things out'.

Since handling data is one of the National Curriculum attainment targets in mathematics, you should consult the mathematics department about what aspects of data handling have been taught in Year 7 mathematics lessons, including the use of ICT. The handling data section of the supplement of examples in the Framework for teaching mathematics: Years 7, 8 and 9, included on the CD-ROM accompanying this unit, illustrates the kind of work that pupils in Years 7, 8 and 9 will do in their mathematics lessons.
