In class, we have had practice collecting data and displaying it in a frequency chart. We have also used bar graphs and line graphs to display different types of data. Grade 6s have even worked out how to use a formula to accurately divide a pie chart.
TASK: Your task this week is to decide on, and record some observational data in your home. Grade 5s will be using data tracked over time (e.x. How many pieces of mail did my family receive each day, Mon-Thurs?). Grade 6s will be working with frequency data (e.g. How many of the fruits and vegetables in my fridge are green, how many are red, how many are orange, etc?) You get to decide on the type of data to collect, but it must suite the type of data display you have been assigned.
Grade 5s: Your POW data will be displayed in a LINE GRAPH.
Grade 6s: Your POW Data will be displayed in a PIE CHART. Remember, a protractor is a required tool for correctly creating an accurate pie chart. If you don't have one at home, you will need to have your data and calculations ready early so that you can bring it in on Thursday and complete the pie chart. If you need help remembering how to use the formula to determine the size of each pie segment, visit the "Representing Data" activity again. Show all steps of your formula calculations!
