In this feature for Primary teachers, we offer a range of data handling activities which capitalise on learners' natural curiosity. Some of the tasks below encourage learners to pose their own questions, which they can then investigate for themselves, and our article outlines the four
step model we are advocating. We hope you enjoy exploring alongside your learners.
The last day for sending in solutions to our live problems is Monday 15 March.
