The Maths Challenge is back!                                                                                                 

The challenge this week is just for the Year 5 and 6 students.

Starting today (Friday 25/2) the teachers are participating in a bit of friendly competition relating to how many steps we take each day. Each day the teachers will fill out a spreadsheet of their total steps for the day. The totals for each teaching team (eg Year 3, Kindergarten) will be averaged across a six week period and the highest average will be the winning team. (Fingers crossed it is Year 5!)

Year 5 and 6 students, your job using the (Friday to Tuesday next week) data from your year level’s teachers is to determine which teacher has taken the most steps for each day. Over the 5-day period, you need to work out the average number of steps of each teacher and the whole group of teachers over each day and across the 5 days? You might also like to use the 5 days data to estimate how many steps you think each teacher and the group of teachers will take across the whole 6-week period. It will be important for you to also think about how you might best present this information.

As you will need to wait till Wednesday morning to ask your teacher for the data, you will then have until Friday morning to submit your answers to Mrs Blackwell. The winner will be announced during Assembly time next Friday. Happy data analysing!
