Making Graphs (by Room 14)

Room 14 learnt about graphs by investigating the colours of m&ms in different packets. We now know that not all packets have the same colours in them!

We learnt that graphs are like stories - they have a title, and you can "read" them and learn things from them. In making our graphs, we developed many skills: collecting data (m&m colours), making a tally chart, displaying our data on a bar graph and discussing what our graphs showed.  We also practiced taking turns, team work, being good speakers and learners.  And, yes, at the end, we got to share out our m&ms!


"It was hard work but lots of fun" said Room 14.
Sorting out the m&ms into colour groups.
Creating a tally chart to show how many of each colour we had.

Transferring our data to a Bar Graph grid.
Taking turns.
Discussing our graph and what it shows.

  3. I loved sorting out the M&Ms. My favourite coloured M&M was orange, the most of any coloured M&Ms in our group was blue.
