Todays home learning challenge involves a bit of data handling.

It has been a little while since we practiced using tally marks but it should be something you are familiar with through our use of these, for table points, in the classroom.

For this activity you will need to use the Twinkl log in/code on the front of your home learning folder.

Once you have created your free Twinkl account  click the link below. This will take you to a downloadable e-book called ‘Treasures in the Garden‘. We will be referring to this story for todays learning.

Todays Activity

• Read the story ‘Treasures in the Garden’. In the story we can see Holly collects some treasure to try to cheer up her brother.
• It is your job to find some treasure although the challenge is that you only have 3 minutes to find as much as you can. Although the story is about outdoor treasure this activity can be completed inside too. Ideas of treasure are listed below…

Indoor Treasure                                                  Outdoor Treasure

Teddies                                                                      Leaves

Pencils/Pens                                                          Flowers

Coins                                                                          Sticks

Spoons                                                                      Stones

Shoes                                                                         Insects

 

• Count up each item you have found within the 3 minute timer. You could even estimate how many you think you have found before counting them accurately. (Remember an estimate is a rough guess)
• Create a simple tally chart like the example below. Choose which chilli challenge is most appropriate for your learning. We only have a 1 star challenge or a 2 star challenge today.✨

• You can complete this task in your jotter or you can even use chalk (if you have it) to complete this outside.
• Take a picture and post this on the blog.

If you need a little reminder of how tally marks are used watch the video clip below!
