Data is everywhere! The numbers are all around us. From counting how many people are in your classroom to recording what you eat for lunch every day. It’s listing your favourite books or tv shows. Anything you like! Data isn’t about maths. It’s about collecting information about the world and telling a story about it.
This lesson will introduce pupils to act of collecting data to tackle interesting real-world problems we have.
