Moustache Maths...?

This week in maths Ruma Tuarua has been looking fab! We have been working on being data detectives. We know that data is another word for "information". We made our own data by dressing up in crazy outfits and taking photos of everyone. When they were printed and laminated they became our data.

We tried lots of different ways of sorting them into groups. Some examples are:
  • boys and girls
  • people wearing party hats or no party hats
  • people with party hats and sunglasses
  • sorting by the colour of the party hat
  • people wearing one item, two items or three items
When we sorted the data into different groups we used our detective skills to find clues in the data. We used words like more, fewer, most, least, popular, unpopular. Next week we're going to put our detective skills to the test...stay tuned!
