Paper planes


As part of a unit on statistics we got to make paper planes!!! The purpose of this was to collect appropriate data to produce a dot plot graph displaying flying distance against the variable, e.g. distance vs plane size. For this activity we also got to use decimals, such as plane 1 flew 6.4m.
In another fun statistics lesson we measured our resting pulse and after exercise pulse, put them on a stem and leaf graph and worked out the mean, median, mode and range. We also had discussion about the science behind it and how an athletes pulse would perform.
