Marble roll-Ramp A and B

Walt: 1.measure and record distances accurately.
        2.graph the starting position and distances travelled.
        3.On scatter graph, talk about distinctive features of scatter graphs.
        4.make statements, backed up by reference to graphs, about possible actions.  

Marble roll-Ramp A

In our maths group we dropped the marble to roll down the rivet, (a wooden ramp) or a cardboard ramp (handmade). First we dropped the marble on a special point marked on the ramp. The first point was 45 and we used the rivet. We rolled the marble 4 times and recorded it. We also did that with other marked places, next we drew a scatter graph.
My scatter graph wasn't very good so I borrowed my friends one. I found it hard to challenging to understand, later on it got easier to work. Next our teacher told us to try a website of scatter graphs online.


I found that the scatter graphs online were better than in making it. I was confused in the beginning but after a few trials, it was simple. After all this I had to analyze it. Our teacher told us children, to get past level 4, we have to know how to draw and stack data into scatter graphs and line graphs.

Probabilities and graphs



Walt: understand how to make and use graphs.

graph games 1

In these three games, they all relate to displaying data. The easiest part would be selecting the building/flies or dots. The challenging part would be working out the problems in every game. Next I would like to learn how to draw different graphs.

Statistics-graphs of the sports camp T-shirt

Walt: draw 3 different graphs that show your survey has been complete.


Pie graph   
   















Line graph
















Column graph














In our group, we have been revising statistics. We have decided to do three different graphs to show our working. the green group in maths had to do a survey for the sports camp T-shirts. I had to survey 50 people. The question was “What do you think the weight of the fabric for the sports camp t-shirt should be?” The higher the quality (weight) the stronger it is. 6 people wanted the weight to be 160 grams. 160 grams is light but can easily rip when you are running. 18 people chose 180 grams. 180 grams is a little light but cannot rip easily. 11 people went for 200 grams. 200 grams is strong and warm when you are running. 13 people went for 220 grams. 220 grams is very strong but is very warm as well, some of the reasons they chose this is because, it is going to be winter, you will keep warm, and it will last longer. Only 1 person said that it should be 500 grams. What do you think it should be?
