Year 5
Be able to develop a database, or create a yes/no branching database to identify something. Will need help interpreting data presented graphically.

In order to solve a problem use ICT to collect and process data and present their findings. Be able to create a database and compare graphical data.

E.g. Children investigate the difference between the life expectancy of children in Victorian and modern times.

Generate, process, interpret and store and present data, understanding the need for accuracy.

Year 5
Use a pre-prepared spreadsheet model to explore the effects of changes. Use a provided graphical model to test spatial theories.

Use ICT based models to explore variables to solve problems. Some will understand the principles behind spreadsheet formulae and start to create their own.

e.g. Use a pre-prepared spreadsheet to calculate costs of ingredients for biscuits, or supplying an event. Pupils answer questions about price or quality changes

Create their own spreadsheet model with formulae, which they can explain and adjust if necessary. Be able to review rules and variables and make predictions about the consequences of decisions.

Assessment Outcomes

 

1

Enter and store information …. think about what might happen if there were any errors …

To enter information into a spreadsheet.

Demonstrate how to enter the results of a science investigation into a spreadsheet.  Pupils create their own table.   

Spreadsheet
Rows & Columns
Cells

Spreadsheet e.g. Excel / Number Magic / Textease Spreadsheet

Level 4:
I can interpret my findings, check that my results make sense and recognise that poor quality information leads to unreliable results.

Level 5:
I can select only the information that is needed for a particular purpose.

I can check it is accurate and organise this information so that it is ready for processing.

 

2

Interpret information, to check it is relevant and reasonable.

To create charts and graphs using a spreadsheet.

Pupils use the spreadsheet to create a line graph, pie chart & bar chart.  Which type is most helpful? Interpret the chart / graph.

3

Interpret information …. think about what might happen if there were any errors …

To create charts and graphs using a spreadsheet.

Pupils enter a list of the ingredients to make bread & their costs into a spreadsheet.  Pupils create a chart to show the costs of each item.

4

Interpret information …. think about what might happen if there were any errors …

To use formula within a spreadsheet.

Pupils enter formula into a spreadsheet to find out the total cost.  Pupils explore changing the costs and using other formula.

SUM

Spreadsheet e.g. Excel / Number Magic / Textease Spreadsheet

 

5

Interpret information …. think about what might happen if there were any errors …

To use a spreadsheet to record the costs of planning an event.

Pupils are given a budget & create a spreadsheet to record the costings for a party.  Pupils create charts to show these costs and use formula to calculate total.
