Last week we began our new math unit on Data Handling. We began by collecting data on places we like to eat. The children gave very varied answers but we managed to come up with lots of different ways to categorise the data. Here are some photos below of us trying to sort out the information. One of our students, Gordon, decided to create the categories, 'rice' and 'dessert.' We discovered that although some of us could place our data under these headings, the rest of us couldn't. This lead to a great discussion on how we also needed the categories, 'both' and 'none.' Once we managed to find a place for all of our data, we realised that our original question no longer matched! This led to Gordon creating a new question that would connect to the data. Over the next couple of weeks, we will be creating our own surveys and learning about the importance of creating the right question.
