Maths and Numeracy

This week in maths we have been learning about information handling, specifically tally marks, frequency and grouped frequency tables.

For home learning I would like you to choose one of the following questions to answer, conduct a survey and present the data in either a frequency or grouped frequency table. If you would like to challenge yourself, you can also present the data as a chart or a graph.

  1. Types of food you can find at home (fruits and vegetables, tins and cans, meat, packets)
  2. Times people say the following words in a TV show. (now, hello, surely, exhausted, goodbye, love)
  3. How many different genres of Films/TV shows you can find in one day’s TV or on a streaming site.
