Information handling

Data and analysis

Early First Second Third Fourth
I can collect objects and ask questions to gather information, organising and displaying my findings in different ways.

*Responsibility of all

I have explored a variety of ways in which data is presented and can ask and answer questions about the information it contains.

*Responsibility of all

Having discussed the variety of ways and range of media used to present data, I can interpret and draw conclusions from the information displayed, recognising that the presentation may be misleading.

*Responsibility of all

I can work collaboratively, making appropriate use of technology, to source information presented in a range of ways, interpret what it conveys and discuss whether I believe the information to be robust, vague or misleading.

*Responsibility of all

I can evaluate and interpret raw and graphical data using a variety of methods, comment on relationships I observe within the data and communicate my findings to others.

*Responsibility of all

I can match objects, and sort using my own and others' criteria, sharing my ideas with others.

*Responsibility of all

I have used a range of ways to collect information and can sort it in a logical, organised and imaginative way using my own and others' criteria.

*Responsibility of all

I have carried out investigations and surveys, devising and using a variety of methods to gather information and have worked with others to collate, organise and communicate the results in an appropriate way.

*Responsibility of all

When analysing information or collecting data of my own, I can use my understanding of how bias may arise and how sample size can affect precision, to ensure that the data allows for fair conclusions to be drawn.
In order to compare numerical information in real-life contexts, I can find the mean, median, mode and range of sets of numbers, decide which type of average is most appropriate to use and discuss how using an alternative type of average could be misleading.
I can use the signs and charts around me for information, helping me plan and make choices and decisions in my daily life.

*Responsibility of all

       
  Using technology and other methods, I can display data simply, clearly and accurately by creating tables, charts and diagrams, using simple labelling and scale.
I can display data in a clear way using a suitable scale, by choosing appropriately from an extended range of tables, charts, diagrams and graphs, making effective use of technology.
I can display data in a clear way using a suitable scale, by choosing appropriately from an extended range of tables, charts, diagrams and graphs making effective use of technology.
I can select appropriately from a wide range of tables, charts, diagrams and graphs when displaying discrete, continuous or grouped data, clearly communicating the significant features of the data.
 

Ideas of chance and uncertainty

Early First Second Third Fourth
  I can use appropriate vocabulary to describe the likelihood of events occurring, using the knowledge and experiences of myself and others to guide me.

*Responsibility of all

I can conduct simple experiments involving chance and communicate my predictions and findings using the vocabulary of probability.

*Responsibility of all

I can find the probability of a simple event happening and explain why the consequences of the event, as well as its probability, should be considered when making choices.

*Responsibility of all

By applying my understanding of probability, I can determine how many times I expect an event to occur, and use this information to make predictions, risk assessment, informed choices and decisions.
