We have been learning about collecting, sorting, graphing and explaining data. We measured and compared the heights of the beans we got from our visit to the Botanical Gardens.
We measured the height in centimetres. Some people had 1cm, some had 5cm, some had over 10cm and some had lots of the numbers in between. It was interesting that they were all planted on the same day, and yet there were lots of different heights.
We then made a tally chart and a graph of our results.
We learnt how to fill in the tally chart. We know that when we want to show five marks we draw four lines and then one across them, like four fingers on your hand and your thumb across.
