Maths- STATISTICS

In the last 3 weeks we have been learning about the 

STATISTICS INQUIRY CYCLE

First we learnt that when we want to find out information we have to go and collect it (like what colour is most liked in Room 17).

1. COLLECTING DATA (INFORMATION)

We asked every student in the class what their favourite colour was.

Our class thought that the best way to do this was list all the students in our class so that we do not miss anyone out.

for example

Cheyanne- Blue

Timo- Yellow

Tevita- Red

...............

Next we 

2. SORTED OUR DATA(INFORMATION)

 we sorted our data(information) into tally a chart and learnt how to create one and how to use tally marks

Sorting our information and learning how to use tally marks

Our Tally Chart that we created.

3 columns- one for colours, one for tally marks and one for the total

Next we learnt about..

3. DISPLAYING OUR DATA

We brainstormed different ways to display our data and we all thought that a BAR GRAPH would be a great way to display our data.

Some of us did not know how to create a bar graph and so we learnt how to create one.

We learnt about the 

Y Line (Axis) & the X Line (Axis)

The Y Line/Axis has numbers and it goes UP and DOWN

The X Line/Axis goes across and this has the information labels on it.

Using information from our Tally Chart we created a BAR GRAPGH

One of our students Bar Graph.

We enjoyed creating a bar graph, so Whaea Marie gave us a tally chart and we had to create a bar graph using the information on the tally chart.
