Why this why now
Having previously explored how to collect, summarise and present data, pupils now develop their skills in organising and classifying information. They refine their ability to identify attributes, ask precise yes/no questions and sort objects, strengthening logical thinking and decision-making. This progression builds the foundation for analysing, comparing and structuring data preparing pupils for more complex tasks involving patterns, problem-solving, and drawing conclusions.
Prior knowledge requirements
- Pupils know how to access websites on digital device as directed.
- Pupils understand how to count object and group them.
- Pupils understand how charts can help to visualise numerical data.
- Pupils will be able to operate a digital device and use it to enter and edit textual information.
