Independence Centre

Highlight

Selamat sore Independence Centre families!

This week the 3/4 students completed a maths project all about data. They surveyed each other and created a variety of graphs both on paper and using their devices. From bar charts to pie graph, they explored how different representations can change the way we interpret data. Finally, they evaluated their graphs, discussing which were the most effective and why. We can’t wait for you to see this project on Seesaw soon!

Have a wonderful week, 

Kathy, Ros, Julia, Mandy, Fatima and Suzie.
