Primary/K-6: Data

linegraph.jpg

We often think of graphs and charts when we think of data but children collect data all the time without them.  It’s good to keep in mind that life itself is a sort of data-gathering activity. Understanding this also helps us realise just how integral data gathering is to a child’s development and learning. 

In RLM we use your child’s natural data collection behaviour and develop it into a more formal and mathematical process.
