Collecting Data

In Maths we talked about graphs and why we have them and how important graphs can be. We talked about our pets and who had pets at home. Ms Tumahai drew pictures on the board, she drew a dog , a cat , a bird , rabbit and guinea pig from what the students said of the pets they had at home. Ms Tumahai asked who had a dog at home, and 6 students put their hands up. Ms drew 6 lines like this  and then she asked the same questions with the other pets we have at home.

Ms Tumahai told us we had just collected information about how many students in Room 25 have pets at home. We collected our information using a telly. We are going to make a Pictograph of the information we collected from the students.
