Data and Graphs

In maths this week, we have been working on data handling. There are many ways to show data. We have drawn

  • bar charts
  • pie charts
  • line graphs
  • pictograms
  • time graphs

First we decided what data to collect Liberty asked the class what their favourite animal was. They had a choice of

  • dog
  • cat
  • horse
  • turtle
  • sea horse
  • other

Liam asked the class what their favourite video game was, they had a choice of

  • sliterio
  • forza horizon 3
  • minecraft
  • Fifa
  • space invaders
  • other

To draw a bar chart you need

  • y axis
  • x axis
  • scale
  • colour coded key
  • title
  • bars/data

Our favourite parts of the week:

Liberty: My favourite part was collecting data for everyones favourite animal and presenting it on a bar chart.

Liam: My favourite part was reading the questions on pictograms.
