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?
