We invited Mr. Cooper's class to help us learn more about tallies, surveys and graphs.
They just finished a unit on data management and it was a good opportunity for the big kids to consolidate their knowledge.
It was also a chance for us to interact with mentor students and to learn from them.
We paired up the students with an older buddy.
Some pairs were shy at first.
But soon the ice was broken and they came up with a survey question.
"What is your favourite cookie? Hockey team? Colour?" etc.
They moved around the rooms, asking their questions and recording responses.
Once the data was collected, the buddies reviewed it with them.
They started on their graphs on giant pieces of chart paper.
They worked together to create a bar graph.
The younger children enjoyed using the rulers.
The colouring was fun too.
Finally the work was finished and we posted our learning in the hall.
The children were striving towards many learning goals in this one activity:
-learning how numbers work
-learning to share ideas
-learning to be kind
