Information Handling KS2/Second Level Anchor Charts Bundle

A bright and comprehensive Information Handling Anchor Chart Bundle designed for pupils working within Second Level Curriculum for Excellence.
This bundle includes 24 colourful, child-friendly maths posters covering the key skills pupils need to collect, organise, display, interpret and question data.

The resources progress from introducing data handling and different ways of presenting information, through to interpreting graphs, drawing conclusions and recognising when data may be misleading.
