13/06/2011. George where is all of presenting of your results? I can see that you have a few tables and one grapht! Your task was to find the average person in room 29 and you were given two weeks to complete this. You need to find the AVERAGE person, I expect to see it by Friday you will need to do it for homework.

LI: We are learning to display our data as a bar graph.

SC: •use discrete data •labels and titles are used •has a Y and X axis •has numbers on the Y axis •bars are seperate •has statements about the data and results •everything needs to be the same distance apart e.g. numbers up the side, the bars, the labels

LI: We are learning to display our data as a pie chart.

SC: •the degrees have to be accurate. •use protractor or compass when drawing the circle •use titles and labels. •may have a key •must have a perfectly round circle •has statements about the data and results

**FIND THE AVERAGE PERSON IN OUR CLASS**

LI - I am learning to use my statistic knowledge to find the average person in our class

SC - To be successful I will need to use some of the following:
 * tally chart
 * stem and leaf graph
 * bar graph
 * pie chart
 * pictogram
 * histogram
 * mean
 * median
 * mode
 * discrete data
 * continuous data
 * write 3 statements about each graph.

Your task is to find out who the average person in our is. You must **always** analyse your graphs and data, and make sure this analysis is evident.

To do this task you will be using **discrete data** and **only one continuous data.**

Below brainstorm as a group what discrete and continuous data you could use to help you find who the average person is in our class. Highlight all of your discrete data yellow, and continuous data green.
 * mode
 * discrete data
 * continuous data
 * write 3 statements about each graph.

Mode Median the median was bethany because I was crossing the names out on paper and the last name was bethany mean Range

Reflection: ﻿ I have learnt how to find the median but I need to keep checking in my maths book to remember what the mode,mean,range mean.
