'SURVEY SAYS'...OUR MATHS INVESTIGATIONS

Remember our post about A POLL NEEDS A...

Since then we have been

finding out about ourselves

as a class. We have been
ACTIVE

INVESTIGATORS.

After deciding on a question, we first had to GATHER the DATA.

We RECORDED the data using ticks or tally marks.

We discovered it was a good idea to write down names as well, so that we knew who we had asked.

But at this stage, it wasn't easy to see the RESULTS of our questioning. So.....

we had to be EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATORS and DISPLAY the DATA.

Some of us chose to DRAW a BAR GRAPH by hand and others chose to produce a BAR GRAPH on the computer by inserting a 'table' into a 'Word' document.

Now it was easy for us to see and INTERPRET the results of our surveys.

Our next step is to post about our learning on our own blogs.
You can access the results of Courtney's, Johanna's and Tierney's investigations by going to the sidebar, finding LABELS and then NUMERACY BLOCK.
All of our results will be posted by early next term, so don't forget to come back and check out the results!
