Smartie time

Our year two classes were undertaking a data collection exercise last week all based around a tube of Smarties. The children were asked to record how many of each colour there were in individual tubes. All of this being brought together at the end to see if there were any patterns in the distribution or whether it was all quite random!

Great enthusiasm and self control exhibited by the children, no Smarties eaten and therefore no data sets distorted!  However they were rewarded at the end with the freedom to eat their work! The Smarties not the graphs!
