Yesterday, our class used yard sticks to measure the snow at Pond Cove!

                              One of our learning targets is to measure to the nearest 1/2 inch.

   The class collected data from three locations on the playground.

       Later we analyzed the data and found the mode, the value that occurs most often in a set of data. 

       The maximum measurement was 7 inches and the minimum was 2 inches.

Then the students discussed the possible reasons for this range...

-inaccurate measurements, 

-amount of wind or sun impacting the snow,

-various amounts of snow that already existed on the ground 

-height of ground underneath the snow

I wonder how much snow will fall today?
