Statistics

For math we have been learning statistics - here we are sorting things.

I asked, "How can we sort these plastic shapes?"

The children were quick to respond ...

"We can put all the same colours together!"

"We could put all the triangles together and the circles and squares!"

Then we sorted the things on our 'interest' table.

 So much fantastic talking was happening ...

"the sticks go together"

"this rock is hard and heavy"

"no, that's a open cone! It goes here!"

"where can this rock go"

The children were so eager to help each other

Then the children went away to do some independent sorting
