In March we did a LOT of work on data during our maths lessons.

We found out that data is showing information in lots of different ways.

We used pictograms, tally charts and bar charts. Bar charts were our favourites ( “Yum” said Adam!)

We worked in teams of 2 to ask the whole school what was their favourite break time fruit?

They could choose between an apple, orange or banana.

We made tally charts in our copies when we asked each class. Next we went back to our class and

made bar charts from the information.

Then we made giant posters to show every class’s choice of fruit. We drew bar charts with our rulers and pencils, then we wrote the titles and coloured them  in neatly. After that some of us wrote up facts about the bar charts.

We had a lot of fun doing this project.

We are very proud of our work and how well we worked together in our teams.

Please come by and take a look at our surveys , they will be outside our room very soon!!
