1. Handling Data To solve a problem by organising, representing and interpreting data in tables, graphs and chart. By Amani El-Alawneh

2. Hello, MI3 M here. I hope you are all well and enjoying life! I have a problem that I would really, really like your help with. Here at my base we have two scientists in charge of representing our data. Their names are Agent A. Weed and Agent C. Weed (they are brother and sister).

3. They are in the middle of analysing some super sized data to use in our next top secret mission. Unfortunately, they have been called away on another top secret mission and have asked me to interpret the data!! My problem is that they left me data in a tally chart and it makes no sense to me! Please would you help me out? I zapped a copy of the tally chart and special instructions for representing the data. See you later……

10. Hi All, M here again. Fantastic, youve completed all three missions. Secret Agent A. Weed and his sister C. Weed told me that I need to find a symbol that could represent 5 books. I cant imagine it! Can you help me to choose a symbol that will be clear and can any easily represent 5 books? Mission Four: Work in pairs to find a symbol that could represent 5 books. Once you have agreed on a symbol, redraw the pictogram using your symbol for 5 books.
