  • Today we will continue with Data Handling
  • Data handling means different ways of collecting, organising and displaying information.
  • Can you remember any of the ways we sorted information last week?
  • We sorted by shape, colour and size
  • What ways did you think of to sort the animals in your Education City task?

We can sort information by looking at a picture

  • Watch and listen to the clip below

  • We can organise this information into a table like the one shown below.

  • We can use this information to ask and answer questions:
  • What is the most popular animal at the pond?
  • What is the least popular animal at the pond?
  • How many ducks and frogs are there altogether?
  • How many animals are there altogether? etc.

 

  • Now take a look at the picture below

  • How many of each shape can you count?
  • Use the information to draw and complete a table of your own in your jotter
  • Now get a family member to ask you some questions about your table
  • To finish off try to think of a way to sort/organise  some of your toys
  • Sort them and take a photograph or draw a picture to share with us by email or by posting it on the blog
  • You could even make a table to show how you have organised them

Next week we will learn how to use information to construct a pictogram
