Surveys and Graphs

The children have been enjoying creating their own surveys to find out what their friends, neighbouring  classes and grown-ups in the school are thinking. 


The children used their understanding of tallies to keep track of information on their surveys. They know that four lines with one across the centre equals 5.

 Some of the questions children used for their surveys were: "Do you like cats or dogs?"  "Do you love rain or snow?" "Do you think the rails on the ramp or the circles on the floor are more beautiful?"

We then turned our surveys into bar graphs. This child learned that more children think the open pinecone is more beautiful than the closed one. The graph makes it easy to see this.
