Abstract
An approach to teaching Data Handling across Secondary Education, using
CensusAtSchool and related data handling material to develop secondary students’ knowledge of statistical techniques, alongside the development of skills of interpretation and analysis. The approach increases both confidence and capability when handling data. This will be framed in the context of a student population with low expectations of themselves and low aspirations. The students are motivated and engaged using the
CensusAtSchool project, which, by using their data has a positive effect on both teaching and learning.
