Over the last two weeks we have been exploring making bar graphs. We have looked at what they are and what they are used for and the next step was for the children to make their own. Looking at the graphs we have created we discovered that boxing is the most popular sport in Room 1,strawberries are the most popular fruit and pink is our favourite colour.
To create their own graphs the children used coloured blocks and finally for today as our final day on this topic they got to use candy. Very yummy of course and a great motivator for the children to complete their graph. However they couldn't eat them until the task was completed. It was great activity and no one should under estimate the power of food and maths. A big thumbs up from all of us with this graphing unit.
