Meeting 6 - Resources

Meeting 6 took place at Linton Village College on 25th June (thanks Will!)
We added some links to the list (below right) and focused on data handling topics.
There are only a few links and files from this meeting but there was lots of interesting discussion. More is recorded in the minutes of the meeting.

Next year there will be 6 meetings (one each half term). The dates for these will be published shortly. The focus for the next meeting will be "KS3 Rich Tasks".
