Most popular...most common.

We have been answering questions using surveys and recording our data using tally charts and frequency diagrams.  We have then drawn our own charts using 2simple software.  We have also drawn graphs on paper.  Here are some of our findings:

The least popular fish in 3W is Gold fish, Glow in the dark, Sardine, Black neon tetra and Guppy.

Making a graph?

We have been making graphs from our surveys this week.  We entered the data from our tally charts and frequency diagrams into 2simple software.  The problem came when we tried to print them out.  The teacher menus were difficult for us to use...so we improvised and learnt how to use the print screen button!

Pressing control-shift-PrtScrn takes a picture (a screenshot)  of the screen at that moment.  You can then paste it into another document.  We pasted into Word.

Here's an online site which allows you to make your own graphs.

Try to make a graph of something at home...maybe the ages of your family, the sizes of your shoes, the number of power points in each room.

Let me know how the graph making goes.  You could send me a screenshot of the graph you make.

This BBC site is amazing.  You ask the different people questions and enter the data in a tally.  Have a go.  Please comment. 

Good luck!
