More Data Handling

Most schools use a mathematics scheme or schemes to teach basic skills and concepts, but teachers still require a wide range of materials to supplement these schemes. Such materials are provided by the "Spectrum Mathematics" series. This is a series of three books of data handling activities primarily for the primary years, although secondary school teachers with low attaining pupils will also find these books useful. They are defined in terms of three ability levels. Each book contains 40 data handling activities in the form of a photocopiable pupil sheet detailed teacher's notes about the matematical content and objectives, the apparatus required, activity for the pupils and examples of questions to be asked of the pupils.
