Digital Technologies Curriculum F-L2 Data and Information

Recognise and explore patterns in data and represent data as pictures, symbols and diagrams.
Collect, explore and sort data, and use digital systems to present the data creatively.
Independently and with others create and organise ideas and information using information systems, and share these with known people in safe online environments.

Shapes that tessellate: a range of printable templates for students to explore patterns and tessellations through the use of colour. Ask students to complete the pattern that a friend has designed? Jo Edkins
Nrich Maths: Handling Data: use this collection of lesson ideas by Nrich, to explain to students how to collect, handle, sort and represent data. The individual lesson ideas give the teacher a detailed plan of how to teach the content in an investigative mode, including possible questions and extensions. University of Cambridge
How is data stored on a computer?: use this resource to support students to understand how computers store data. As an extension of this activity students create short videos and photos using a digital camera or a tablet and transfer these to a computer. Start a discussion with students about how video and images are stored on a computer and different sizes/types of files. BBC Bitesize
