Last week Papatūānuku completed some whole class statistical investigation. First, we voted on our favourite colours, gathering and graphing the data into Math groups. We discovered that the most popular favourite colour in Papatūānuku was gold. We learned about making statements about graphs.
Then, we made our own investigations asking specific groups what their favourite things were. Using Explain Everything we recorded our information. Questions were posed about favourite colours, food, cake flavour, animals or elements. We decided on four options to vote from and data was recorded using tally marks. Next, each group created their own bar graphs of results.
After showing success in our statistical learning we decided to ask questions about things we could take action on. We had almost filled up our marble jar and would need a reward. We used these new skills to collect data about what it should be. Some of the options were very creative, such as a class trip to Chipmunks, Waffle Day or a Sonic dress-up day. This time the data was collected and presented through pictographs. Through multiple investigations, we collated the data and the clear winner was a Create Day! This will be happening on Friday.
Our graphs are now on display in Papatūānuku and we would love you to see our learning next time you are in.
