Using the World Cup to teach data handling
with FREE downloadable resources

The FREE resources can be downloaded here

Logotron Ltd will be proudly flying the flag for football this summer with the release of their latest Football Datafile – a FREE teaching resource for the best-selling data handling software, Junior Viewpoint and Viewpoint.

So, for teachers using this software in the ICT and Mathematics Curriculum and National Numeracy Strategy, this Football Datafile will provide much inspiration for pupils. It even links in with the FIFA World Cup, the latest finals of which will be played this year in Germany.

Also available for FREE is a huge range of KS2-4 curriculum-related datafiles. All can be downloaded from the Junior Viewpoint site, or from the Viewpoint site including: Sports (Formula 1, Athletics), Victorians, Housing, Countries, Storysearch, Plants & Animals, Environment and many more. Plus, these companion websites feature step-by-step tutorials; ready-made activity sheets for busy teachers to use across the curriculum and a range of resources that will help you make the most of the software.

These resources offer your pupils the chance to investigate and interrogate sets of real data from a range of curriculum-based topics. You can use them to support work accompanying topical events such as the World Cup, or simply use them at any time to provide focused work around a theme that will appeal to almost all children. They are not exhaustive. In fact, they only scratch the surface of what is possible.

‘Finding things out’ is at the heart of ICT in schools. The entire data handling strand of the curriculum can be delivered with Junior Viewpoint and Viewpoint. From designing forms, entering data, searching and sorting records, carrying out statistical operations to preparing graphs and reports, these software packages offer it all in one simple to use program.

Junior Viewpoint is priced at £59 and Viewpoint is priced at £109 for a single software pack. Like all Logotron titles it is supported by a 30-day money-back guarantee, free technical support and can be purchased using COL eLearning Credits.
