How to Conduct a Survey
We asked a question: What do you love most about Ontario? Some answers included Canada's Wonderland or hockey. Then, we thought of categories to put the answers into.  ("Special places", "fun things to do", "culture", "land features" like lakes and rivers. Finally, we collected and organized data using a tally chart.  The students surveyed kids and adults during recess. As a class, we chose a pictograph to show our data.  What other type of graph can we use to clearly show our data?

Data Management
We thought of questions to ask.  Some ideas:
1. Favourites: Video games, tv shows
2. Numbers: number of people, time spent watching tv
3. Measures: minutes spent reading, length of a gift from the holidays

We classified, or sorted, data into categories.  We used Venn Diagrams and looked at different attributes (i.e. gender - boy or girl).

We did a survey: What is your favourite day of the week? The data was collected using a tally chart and categorized in 2 ways: each day of the week and weekday/weekend.

We did an experiment: How many times can you write your first name in 2 minutes? We made intervals starting between 10 and 19, 20 and 29, etc.  We concluded that the more letters in your name and the neater you wrote, the fewer times you would write your name.  The most times a student wrote his/her name was between 40 and 49.  That student only had 4 letters in his name.

Data Management
We have begun to work on collecting data, or information, and recording it in a graph form. 

1. What are the different ways we can display, or show, data?

2. When do we use each type of graph?

3. What are you interested in finding out?

4. Create your own survey, collect the data by asking friends and family, and display on a graph!

Patterning

1. Look at the following pattern.
9, 12, 15, 18....
If this pattern continues, what will the next three numbers be?

Find the pattern rule.  Extend the number pattern.

2. Bernie gives away the same number of stickers each day.  On Day 1, she has 150 stickers.  On Day 2, she has 125 stickers.  On what day will she have exactly 50 stickers?

Use a t-chart to show this pattern. 

3. Create three different patterns, each including the number 40 as the fourth, fifth, or sixth number in the pattern.

How did your pattern start?
How did it continue?
What was your pattern rule?
How did you decide how to get 40 in the fourth spot?
