ABSTRACT
This may seem like starting at the end but the key reason for ‘Handling data’ is to be able to come to decisions about what the data represents. Often learners do not know how to interpret data; they learn how to collect and organise the data but do not realise that there may well be alternative interpretations that could be drawn from the data. It is important that our pupils see the big picture from the beginning and understand that interpretation is just as important as collection and representation of data.
