Summary:

At a Bristol primary school, teacher Simon Mills uses an innovative project to successfully teach his Year 4 class data handling. Simon uses the problem of the distribution of colours in a tube of sweets to explore the challenge of understanding frequency and interpreting and presenting data. The class worked in the school's ICT suite over three lessons to initially build a frequency table in Excel, then moved on to constructing a bar chart from these tables. In the final session, the children labelled and titled their charts and discussed the best ways to represent their results.
