Statistics

Yesterday we looked at collecting data and using our findings to form general statements about the topic. We had to choose the type of ice cream cone or holder - waffle cone, wafer cone or a plastic cup. Next we had to select a flavour from vanilla, chocolate, strawberry or another flavour. Lastly we had to choose a topping - hundreds and thousands, chocolate dip or a cherry. We put our names on paper and placed them in a hoop shape on the ground.( like a Venn diagram). We made it more complicated by putting more information together at once. 
We had some great discussion and used statements like" more people like chocolate topping than cherries or hundreds and thousands" and " the least popular holder is the plastic cup. Most people want a waffle cone".
This was called the Ice cream van glyph activity. Tomorrow we will use this information to make our own graphs and interpret them.
