We are learning about statistics




We are data detectives:

Statistics is about collecting data and gathering all of the information that you need. There needs to be a purpose for your data collection.

We gather data for a particular need. For example, we might do an investigation about our favourite colours if we were going to buy each person a t-shirt or make them a card.

You can use open or closed questions to gather data.

You can present your data in a graph. For example:

  • Tally chart
  • Scatter plot
  • Line graph
  • Stem and leaf graph
  • Bar graph 
  • Pictograph
A bar graph has:
  1. A title 
  2. Bars (even widths) 
  3. An x and y axis
  4. The y axis has numbers on it that are evenly spaced
  5. Labels on the x and y axis
Once we have presented the data - we can make statistical statements by analysing it.

We found out that a koru comes from the New Zealand fern. It symbolises growth, new life and new beginnings. The koru is a very important image in New Zealand, it has many uses. These are some we could think of: - Weaving - Decorations - Ta moko - Tattoos - On the Marae - In art - To represent your family - Pounamu - On waka - In patterns Here is an amazing timelapse video we watched of a fern unfurlng - it made it so clear to see the spiral shape of the koru. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9c9Zi3WFVRc
