| Year 6 | In order to solve a problem, use ICT to collect and process data and present their findings. Be able to interpret graphical data simply. | Generate, process, interpret, store and present data understanding the need for accuracy E.g. In a scientific or geographical investigation. Note that mistakes in measurement of data leads to misleading graphs, look for inaccuracy or implausible results. | Use data collected to widen or extend an investigation, or explore a new hypothesis. |

|
1 | Think about what might happen if there were any errors or omissions. | How large quantities of data are organised. | Discuss how databases are used in everyday life. What happens if there are errors, inaccurate or biased information? | Database | Record cards - a paper based database | Level 4: I understand the need for care in framing questions. I can save the info, add to, amend and combine different forms … from a variety of sources. Level 5: I can check it is accurate and organise this information so that it is ready for processing. |
|
2 | Interpret information, to check it is relevant and reasonable. | To identify inaccurate data within a spreadsheet. | Use a spreadsheet showing a child’s change in height / weight that contains an error. Ask pupils to produce a line graph. Does this help? | Spreadsheet | Pre-prepared Spreadsheet e.g. Excel / Number Magic / Textease Spreadsheet | |
|
3 | Prepare information for development using ICT. | To enter data and check for errors within a spreadsheet. | Use a spreadsheet to record data gathered by pupils e.g. science investigation and check for errors using a line graph. | Spreadsheet | Spreadsheet e.g. Excel / Number Magic / Textease Spreadsheet | |
|
4 | Interpret information, to check it is relevant and reasonable. | That databases may contain errors and the consequences of these. | Use a database containing some errors. Demonstrate how to amend / delete data and ask pupils to identify errors and amend data. | Database | Pre-prepared database e.g. Information Magic (Survey) / Textease database | |
|
5 | Prepare information for development using ICT. | To enter data and check for errors within a database. | Use a database to record data gathered by pupils e.g. about the earth, sun and moon. Ask pupils to use their skills to check for errors and make any amendments needed. | Database | Pre-prepared database structure e.g. Information Magic (Survey) / Textease database
