This mthamo deals with ideas of how to teach data better. It introduces you to some ideas and approaches for a new area of the primary mathematics curriculum called data handling. Some of the questions that will be explored are:

  • What is data? Where do we find data? Why is data handling important.

There will be activities that include:

  • Using a model, or process of stages as a basis for getting learners productively interested in working with data
  • Analysing learner responses to activities you have attempted with them and assessing progress.
