From reSolve

Collect resources

You will need:

• shoes

• paper

• markers or pencils.

Instructions

• Ask an adult to help you collect some shoes.

• Decide how you want to sort them. You could sort them by the type of shoes like we did or maybe by colour or size.

• Organise your shoes into a data display, remember to line the up evenly in rows.

• Draw a picture showing how you organised your shoes, you could ask someone to help you to write down what you notice.

Discuss/Reflect

• Can you see what you have the most or least of?

• Do you have any in your display that show the same amount.

• Can you think of other ways to sort your shoes?

• How does you data display change when you change how you sorted your shoes?

• How is the data you have collected on the different shoes helpful? Could it help you to make some decisions?
