QCA

Objectives

Children should learn:
  • to use ICT to classify information and present findings

Activities

Outcomes

Children:
  • Prepare a collection of shapes. Ask the children to group the shapes according to number of sides. Ask them to use a graphing package to select appropriate icons to represent their data. Ask them to create a pictogram to represent the data they have collected and to present what they have learnt from their pictogram.
  • sort objects using one criterion
  • use a graphing package to produce a pictogram of their data
  • present verbally what they have learnt from their pictograms

Points to note

Encourage children to check that they have entered data correctly and provide support when they are making corrections.

More able children could be encouraged to use their pictograms to answer more complicated questions, eg are there more things with three sides than six sides; how many more?
