Kiwikids present their "Truth about Brussels Sprouts

We read an article in a School Journal about Brussels Sprouts. The Jellyfish reading group decided to research what our class thought about them.

We asked how many people like them, how many people didn’t like them and how many people had never tried them. Look at our graph.

We interviewed some children and this is what they had to say.
J.S said that she’s not a big fan of Brussels Sprouts. “They taste disgusting when they go down my throat!

M.W. said that Brussels Sprouts are tasty and healthy. It has a nice hot saucy taste.

B.L. said she hates Brussel Sprouts! Why? Because they taste disgusting and weird.

I.L. said he hates Brussels Sprouts because they are disgusting and green.

More fun with Statistics using On-Line graphing tools

Today, the fantastic Kiwikids Maths class had more fun with statistics. We discovered an awful lot about a packet of lollipops. This included: which was the most common shape of lollipop, what was the most popular lollipop flavour, and what was the most common colour of lollipop found in one packet. YES! We did get to eat one too. It was such a busy maths lesson. My challenge for you is to look at the information in the graphs and make statements about what you have found out. e.g. What is the least favourite flavour in our class? What do you notice about the number of shapes we found in the packet? How many different things can you tell me? I'd love to hear about what you've learned.
