A classroom resource devised to support the teaching of data handling at secondary school level within the framework of the National Curriculum. It contains photocopiable activities designed to encourage an in-depth approach to a piece of work requiring the collection, display and interpretation of data. Each activity includes a simple self-assessment chart and is supported by teacher's notes. The author provides a comprehensive guide to the role of databases and spreadsheets in the classroom, explaining how such software can be used to deliver the data handling component of the National Curriculum. He also addresses the need for general purpose software which can be used in all subject areas and is relevant to the real world.
