In Maths over the past few weeks the Foundation students have been answering  yes/no questions to collect information. They have organised the answers to their yes/no questions into simple data displays using objects and drawings. We have explored how to use tally marks to help record responses. The students have learnt to Interpret the data displays to share the most popular responses and the least popular. They have answered a series of questions and as a class we have explored different ways to create displays to show the results.

We have read the story about a little mouse named Chrysanthemum who had the longest and most unique name at her school. We created a table to represent the length of all of the names of the students and teachers in our class. We discussed who had the longest and shortest names and if there were students who had the same amount of letters in their names.

The students have used a spinner to collect data. They have gathered blocks according to the colours they spun to make a 3D graph. The students have recorded their responses by colouring a square on the grid each time they spun a colour. The students have shared with the class the colour they spun the most, least and if they had any colours that were spun the same amount of times.
