Making Sense of Data: Nuffield Exploratory Data Skills Project

This collection of resources from Nuffield are designed to improve the ability of students to analyse and present data, ask questions about and find meaning in data and discuss critically the interpretation of data. 'Exploratory Data Analysis' emphasises getting to know the data, analysing and finding meaning, simple pencil and paper techniques and the use of visual presentation.

There are three types of material: reference sheets present the concepts and techniques of data analysis, mini-courses develop these ideas in one particular context and topic resources to indicate how these ideas can be used in other subject areas.
