We have pulled together an (ever-growing!) set of data visualisation examples, categorised by type—e.g. bar charts, pie charts, line graphs, scatter plots, histograms, heat maps, and many more—as well as curricular level at which we would expect comprehension and creation of each graph.

Find a visualisation to use as a starting point for a lesson or a conversation with your learners, or have your learners look through some examples before creating a data visualisation of their own.

‘Teach ÌìÃÀÊÓÆµ Literacy: a guide for primary teachers’ is a resource developed by the ÌìÃÀÊÓÆµ team to support teachers to enhance opportunities for all to build the skills and habits of mind relevant to data problem-solving.

The guide offers practical guidance, links to resources and a poster to support teaching data literacy skills and concepts across the primary curriculum.

Along with discussions of the importance of real world data and the impact of data both on our personal lives and society as a whole, the resource outlines how teachers can use the ‘PPDAC’ (Problem, Plan, ÌìÃÀÊÓÆµ, Analysis, Conclusions) data problem-solving cycle in a variety ways.

The digital version of the handbook, which we hope will be used by schools across Scotland (and beyond) can be downloaded here:
