As part of Statistics, Room O
must test out paper planes in the hall. We will record the flight distances,
and bring the planes back to make a Dot Plot/ Scatter Graph. We used all sorts of paper sizes
(A2,A3,A4 and A5). We line up and
‘3…2…1…0!’MrWard yells out.Vooosh!!!!!!!!!!!
The planes soar off the stage, and we measure the flight distance. Armed with our data, we
ran back to class to create the graph.
A5 Distances: 3m,2m,
4m,4m,4.8m,5.6m.
A4
Distances:3.1m,4.2m,4.9m,5m,8.2m,9.5m.
A3 Distances:5m,8m,8.1m,9m,12.2m.
A2
Distances:3.2m,5m,6m,7m,7m,6.1m.
We then got Austen
to work all the averages out. When that was done, we created the graph in our Maths book.
Mission Complete!
