Children's Blog: Morning Data

                                                                                                                                            
How We Organized Our Data
Our class was wondering about what time people got to school.  Aliza decided to record what time people got to school using data. We made a line plot and organized our data about what time people got to school. Some other people in our class decided to help Aliza. They did another survey and took their data and made a line plot showing the third, fourth  and the fifth graders' results.

This is our lineplot that we made for every grade in lower school,

except for Kindergarten. Each X stands for one person.

We have all of the data together because it was easier to see the

 differences and the similarities.

What We Noticed
The class got together and thought about the line plot. Since we were in a math unit about data and surveys, our class got together and shared their ideas with each other. We noticed our class is the latest class from the trailers normally and the fifth graders are the earliest. If you see X`s in a row on the line plot that probably means they come in at the same time. We noticed the fourth grade has the earliest student (sometimes). Outliers (which are in 1^st 3^rd 4^th and 5^th grade,) probably go to early care.

 

What We Might Do Next
We might start taking data when people leave school.  We also might take data about what time people in middle school get to school and leave school.  Or maybe even study what time the preschoolers come in. This project is important to us because in our future we will need to know about data.  Data can also be very important information.
