STATISTICS- SORTING

In Room 5 we drew what food we ate for breakfast. Then we sorted our breakfast into different groups. First by how we ate breakfast and then if our breakfast was served in a bowl or on a plate.

These photos show how we grouped our breakfast by if it included milk or butter. And then if breakfast was served hot or cold. We talked about the information that our sorted breakfast showed us. We used language like 'the most', 'the least', 'more or less'

THE BIG NUMBER SONG

WE DISCOVERED THIS CATCHY NUMBER SONG TODAY.
