My Year 3 class got stuck into Sticky Data today. We created a bar chart to answer the question:
How many girls and boys are there in Tiger Class?
We could see clearly, when we had finished, that there were 16 girls and 11 boys in class that day.
Then we discussed what else we could show using our 'sticky' bar charts. We decided on:
Which month do the Tiger Class children have their birthdays?
Attached is a photo of this.
We had great fun making the bar chart and we had a good discussion afterwards. The children told me that I hadn't labelled it correctly as I hadn't left enough room for all the months on the X-axis. This made it difficult to read.
We also hadn't left any room between the bars which also made it more difficult to read.
We'd love to see what other bar charts children have created!
PS. It won't let me submit the picture
