Modelling IT National Curriculum

• Pupils should be taught to
• Key Stage 1
• use ICT-based models or simulations to try things
  out and explore aspects of real and imaginary
  situations, e.g. use a mouse to move items of
  clothing displayed on the screen to dress a child
  or teddy bear, use an adventure game.
• Key Stage 2
• explore the effect of changing variables in
  simulations and similar packages, to ask and
  answer questions of the What would happen
  if...? type, e.g. change the values in a given
  Logo procedure and see the results
• recognise patterns and relationships in the
  results obtained from ICT-based models or
  simulations, predicting the outcomes of different
  decisions that could be made,
• e.g. use a prepared spreadsheet to enter sales,
  income andpayments to the school tuck shop and
  produce a short report to identify sales for each
  item and how changes could improve profitability,
  use a mathematical adventure game.
