Counting how many, sorting what kind and drawing the result as a chart is where data handling begins, and this workbook starts exactly there.
More than eighty tasks take a child through tallying, grouping, reading a table and building a bar graph, with bright charts and illustrations doing most of the explaining. The idea running underneath is that data describes real situations, so the examples stay close to things a child already notices, and the questions ask for an interpretation rather than a single copied answer.
Things this edition does well:
• Over eighty activities covering collection, sorting and interpretation
• Tallying, grouping and bar-graph construction explained in steps
• Charts and graphics drawn for young readers rather than adults
• Questions that build an analytical habit early
Suited to primary pupils meeting data for the first time and to teachers wanting practice sheets in book form. Available at Boipoka.
