The opportunities and problems involved in using ICT to teach data handling in KS2 maths courses are explored by professors Rosamund Sutherland and Jan Winter of the University of Bristol.
Rosamund and Jan scrutinise three lessons taught by Year 4 teacher Simon Mills. They look closely at the ICT suite and Simon's use of the hardware, including the interactive whiteboard.
The two experts discuss the merits of using "grown up" software in lessons and at the strategies Simon uses to facilitate peer learning.
