Your answers are in!

Thank you to everyone who completed the survey.

When you gather in information it can be called ‘raw data’ like raw chicken you can’t do much with it, so you have to do something in order for it to be used. For instance, cooking the chicken or presenting the data in a way that is readable.

Below is a list of the data that has been collated. Your task is to use the data given and present it in a readable manner. This could be in the form of a pictogram, bar graph or pie chart.  Look through the sway below on suggestions and reminders when presenting the information.

Numeracy Grid 1 – Mild Challenge – More Double Numbers

2 Comments

Paint double numbers

Have fun exploring double numbers with paint dots.

I made a rainbow by starting with 7 dots and using the 7 different colours from the rainbow.

Would you like to dive into the learning pit?

Use the double facts you have remembered?

Have a go at investigating double numbers

This time start with an even amount

Think about which double number story you could make

I used 2 egg boxes to make ten frames

I found pompoms and baubles to make double number stories with.

I have also shown the number stories with numicon which I know very few of you would have at home but they help you to see the double number stories in your mind.

Start with even amounts to 10

Move onto even amounts to 20

Maybe some of you would challenge yourselves even further!
