Overview of the Managing data strand from Stage 1 to Stage 6
This Computing video provides an overview of the Managing data strand in the Kapow Computing curriculum. Learners explore what data is, how it differs from information and how to use digital tools to collect, sort, present and analyse it, progressing from simple tables to spreadsheets and databases. Key concepts such as categorical, discrete and continuous data are introduced, along with the digital tools and software used at each stage to help manage the data.
This video is part of Kapow’s Computing resources, which support the Cambridge Primary Computing Curriculum Framework (0059). In the Managing data: Introduction to data unit, learners find out what data is and collect, sort and organise it to help answer questions.
