Can Count!

In this data handling activity children carry out an audit of canned products in their home, local shop or supermarket. The collected data is sorted and categorised according to product, then represented using graphs or diagrams, including pictograms and bar charts, using IT where appropriate. Finally conclusions are drawn from the data and a report prepared. An accompanying worksheet provides data on a cupboard audit carried out by ‘Mrs Brown’; this data can be represented and interpreted to find out about the Brown family and their lifestyle. An ICT activity is also provided in which children use MS Excel to input data and to create a graph.
