Explaining Everything in Year 2

First, everyone created and labelled their bar graphs then converted them to 3D in Numbers app.

Then we outlined special elements of the dice roll data with inking in Explain Everything app.

Then everyone created an explanation of their data using Explain Everything app. 
The lovely students in Mrs Aylett's class learned to use a new app called Explain Everything to create and record a short analysis of the data they had created last session. Everyone converted their 2D bar graph made in Numbers app to a 3D graph which made reading the data easy. It even put a little finger scroller on the graph to move it at different angles. Then everyone copied and pasted their 3D graph into the Explain Everything app. In this app they learned that they can use different colours to add ink to their graph outlining low tallies such as the number 2 and the highest tally, number 4. Finally, everyone used the recording feature (red button) to record some short descriptions of what the data showed. Some of the class even explained why they thought the data was like this! Well done Year 2's!

Dealing with Data in Year 2

Image
The Year 2 students in Mrs Summer's class continued their learning about Data by using the iPads to collect and represent data. They learned to use spreadsheets on Numbers app to organise their data, to represent it in many different types of graphs and finally to ask each other questions about it to show understanding of their graphs. It was great to see the students develop the concept of X and Y axis while labeling their graphs too! Well done Year 2's!

The Numbers are in - Year 4 is Multicultural.

Spreadsheet to Collect Data. 3D Bar Graph (pink) to Represent the Data.  3D Pie Chart (multi-coloured) to Represent and Analyse the Data.  The students in Mrs Carmody's and Mrs Hoad's class went through a process of collecting, representing and analysing data about the countries they are from recently. Firstly, individually, they used a plain spreadsheet in the Numbers app on the iPad to collect and organise the data about their own class. Then they learned how to represent the data from their spreadsheet by creating both 2D and 3D bar and pie charts of it. Finally, after labelling their chart axis and formatting the values on it both classes answered questions about their classes data using their charts to answer. It was great to see comparisons and inferences were made about other classes data, both inside and outside the school, without even seeing their data. Well done Year 4's!

Organising, Representing and Analysing Data with Numbers App in Mrs Wade's Class

Image
The Year 6 students learned how to organise, represent and analyse data they had collected about drawing cards from a pack using Numbers App on the iPad. They organised their data in a blank spreadsheet (as below), then used the chart generation options (+ icon top right corner) in the app to represent it as a pie chart. The students then learned how they can format their charts to ensure they accurately represent the data in a way that they can analyse it themselves, such as giving their chart an appropriate title and inserting labels to match the values within the pie. Finally, they learned how to convert their 2D pie chart into a 3D version with interactive scrolling to enhance analysis. Next, the students will use the app to collect, organise, represent and analyse data about the possibility of a boy/girl birth in separate families.
