We went bird spotting around the school and then we recorded our findings on a tally sheet. We are very good at making tally marks now and found it was a quick way to record.
We then took one of the tally sheets and turned it into a class graph called a pictogram. We enjoyed drawing the birds then sticking them onto the huge graph. It has been fun comparing the different findings between the classes. Our teachers keep asking us lots and lots of questions and we have to look at the information on the pictogram to work out our answers.
It has been so enjoyable that some of us have been very surprised that we have actually been doing Maths !
