Room 13's Homemade Sports Pie(graph)


This morning Andrea decided that we would do PE and Maths together. We were completely confused beciase we had never done Maths and sports together at the same time.
Our PE Monitors got out some equipment: tennis balls, 2 basketballs and skipping ropes.
We got into groups of three and we listened to the instructions.

In groups we had to count how many catches, skips and baskets we got altogether and record them on a tally chart.

We really enjoyed it. The basketball was hard to get into the hoop because it was high. Some people caught ore balls than others. We all discovered which of the three things we were better at.

When we came back to class we had to add up all the tally marks in each column and the numbers were surprising.
We had 426 tennis ball catches, 20 basketball baskets and 484 skipping rope jumps.

We had to decide what type of graph to use. We put our data into a pie graph and made it colourful.

We really liked PE today.
