Data Handling And Interpretation Text
A demonstration on how to collect data about favourite flavours of ice cream and organise the data into a block graph. How can we find out which is the most popular ice cream flavour? We could try asking the question 'Do you like ice cream?' but is this a suitable question? If not, why not? We must ask the right questions to get the right data.
Finding The Modal Number Video
An introduction to the concept of mode with a practical demonstration. Children are playing a 'horse racing game' involving counters and dice. After each roll of the dice, the corresponding 'horse' is moved up the board. At the end of the game the winner is identified as the modal number - the number that occurred most frequently.
