Snow data

Lots of schools were shut for at least a day last week for the snow and the ice. Often, this is done to make sure everyone is safe and doesn’t take risks to travel there. But how does it affect your school? How many children come to school by foot, and how many come on the bus or by car? Does anyone cycle? This is a chance to think not just about how many children travel in the different ways, but how knowing this information could be useful.

You can use MyMaths to introduce the topic with the activities from page 5 onwards in Introducing Data.
