Record your scores as tally marks and then write the total of each score in the next column.
Find the total of each score and record it in the table.
Combine all of the points that you scored to find your total score.
Example of how to record your data in a table.
Have a look at your table, which score did you toss the most?
Which score did you toss the least?
What else did you notice about your data?

The cardboard is to be used as a base for the ball thrower only.
The ball must land on the target.
You are allowed to use one hand to hold the base of the thrower as you launch the ball.
You can only use one finger to activate the throw. You can not use force to launch the ball (e.g. striking down on a lever with your whole hand).
The launch area needs to be kept clear. DO NOT launch the ball near people.
The target is an A4 piece of paper.
