Over the past couple of weeks we have been exploring Data Handling. We have discussed what data actually is and also data about ourselves.

We sorted the 3D shapes into different categories which we chose. We sorted them by shape, colour, size and if they were stackable or not.

We also had a go at sorting shapes on the board based on their colour and shape. We can sort data in many different ways!

We then sorted the fish based on information we spotted about them. We could sort them based on size, based on their pattern and also if they have a fin or not.

We have also learned to sort data using Carroll Diagrams. We had a go completing some together as a class and then completed some in smaller groups. We sorted the dominoes based on the total being seven or not seven and then sorted the numbers into two groups, one was more than five and the other was not more than five.

We have already learned a little about tally marks but next week this will be our focus along with bar graphs.
