Statistics

Kohara have been learning about statistics in maths. We have found out that statistics is a way to find out information about all kinds of things. We are using statistics to learn more about the children in  Kohara this year.

We have been:
* posing questions
* gathering data
* grouping and graphing our data
* interpreting our findings
* making connections

We have also looked at how we can record our data using tally marks and then using our skip counting in 5s to help count the information. Lauren has been practising using tally marks to make all kinds of numbers and exploring patterns (she ended up making tally marks to practise counting in 5s all the way up to 110!!) Here are some of the first ones she tried.

You could try having a go at home - start off easy drawing tally marks for numbers up to 10 and then challenge yourself to see what the biggest number is that you can make? Can you make 20? 50? 100?
Remember to group your tally marks in groups of 5 like this  llll
