Measures
We used strips of shiny green paper 1 meter long to make the meter trees.
Statistics
We wanted to find out which was the most popular colour smartie in a small tube. The children worked in pairs and were given a tube to tip onto the table. They were then asked to complete a tally chart. They used the tally to construct a physical block graph so they could instantly see the colour smartie there was most of in their packet, the colour there was fewest of and compare colours by counting the difference between the coloured towers.
Multiplication

Addition and subtraction

Measures
