Year 1 Block C – Handling data and measures

The focuses of mathematics learning within this block are:

• Sorting information on a diagram using one criterion

• Representing information with practical resources, pictures, tables, block graphs or pictograms

• Collecting, organising presenting and interpreting information to answer questions
• Communicating findings

• Choosing and using appropriate units of measurement and equipment

• Measuring and comparing lengths, weights and capacities using uniform non-standard and standard measures

• Using ICT

The objectives for the block are listed in the table – the right hand column indicates how the objectives might be addressed in the units

Objectives	Unit 1	Unit 2	Unit 3
Answer a question by selecting and using suitable equipment, and sorting information, shapes or objects; display results using tables and pictures
Describe ways of solving puzzles and problems, explaining choices and decisions orally or using pictures
Answer a question by recording information in lists and tables; present outcomes using practical resources, pictures, block graphs or pictograms
Use diagrams to sort objects into groups according to a given criterion; suggest a different criterion for grouping the same objects
Estimate, measure, weigh and compare objects, choosing and using suitable uniform non-standard or standard units and measuring instruments (e.g. a lever balance, metre stick or measuring jug)
