Here are some lovely bar graphs produced by children in 2 Olive.

Eesa did his clothing bar chart for homework last week and Zeynep completed hers in class.

Well done!

You could now ask your child to interpret the data presented in the graphs.

Example:

What was 2 Olive's favourite Fairytale?

How many white Tshirts does Eesa own?

how many more people liked The Gingerbread Man than Little Red Riding Hood?

This week in maths we are looking at 2D and 3D shapes and their properties. We are asking questions like- How many faces does it have?Are they curved or flat?How many edges does it have?Does it have a point?

Pyramid
Cone


Cube
Cuboid
Cylinder
Sphere
We are also looking at symmetry and finding out if something is symmetrical. Something is symmetrical when it is folded in half and the two halves of the page are equal or mirror images. Can you see which shape is symmetrical?
