Data Collection

 Branching out in Maths

Maths is more than just learning the names of numbers and counting them. In Autahi we do a mix of different things during Maths.

 Number knowledge is where we learn about numbers, a good example of this is the calendar where we practice counting every day. Quick little activities help us to learn numbers in different ways.

Number strategy is where we start to put those numbers together, this is where we practice things like counting groups using materials and writing number sentences like 3+3=6.

The last part of Maths is called Strand and it encompasses things like measurement, shapes and statistics.

This week we have been exploring the world of Statistics through some data collection. 

We are learning to ask people what their favourite fruits are and record their answers. Afterwards we pooled all of our data to see which were the most and least popular fruits. Plus we got use clipboards!!!
