Maths in Room 6

We have started the year looking at Statistics in maths.


Evie and Fletcher with our pencil length measurement graph.


We have posed all kinds of questions and gathered lots of data so here are some facts and figures about us: 

There are 9 girls and 17 boys in our class.
9 of us live on a farm, 17 in a township/town.
9 of us travel to school by bus, 7 walk, 7 come by car and 3 bike to school.
23 of us play a sport, of that number 11 of us play more than three sports.
9 of us play a musical instrument.
25 of us have pets.
21 of us take part in the Outram School CAPES award scheme.
When asked about favourite school subjects, 14 of us like art, 7 like maths, 3 like reading and two like writing.

If we could choose to have a super power 5 of us would choose Invisibility,  12 the ability to fly,  3 of us would have super strength,  4 bendability and 2 of us superspeed.

If you would like to look at some of the kinds of work we do at school you could check out the NZ Maths site; there is a great section for parents (see side bar for link).
