Analysing Data: Mean, Median Mode & Range

We are learning to find and interpret the mean, median, mode and range of dataset

Using a set of slides we explored definitions, work through examples, and practise calculating these values with different datasets. We also discussed how these statistical measures help us understand data patterns and make informed decisions to apply our learning, we completed practise questions and solved real world problems.

How Movement, Exercise, and Nutrition Affect Well-being

Physical health is an important part of our overall well-being. It affects how we feel, how much energy we have, and even how well we can focus in school or at work. Three key factors that influence physical health are movement, exercise, and nutrition.

Movement and Exercise

Our bodies are designed to move! When we are active, our muscles grow stronger, our bones stay healthy, and our hearts work better. Regular exercise helps us maintain a healthy weight, improves our mood, and reduces the risk of illnesses such as heart disease and diabetes. Exercise also releases chemicals called endorphins, which make us feel happier and more energetic.

There are many ways to stay active, such as playing sports, dancing, walking, or even helping with chores at home. The important thing is to find activities we enjoy and do them regularly.

The Role of Nutrition

Eating healthy food is just as important as being active. Our bodies need a variety of nutrients to function properly. Fruits and vegetables provide vitamins and minerals, while protein helps build strong muscles. Drinking enough water keeps us hydrated, and limiting sugary foods helps prevent health problems like obesity and diabetes.

A balanced diet includes a mix of different food groups. Eating too much junk food can make us feel tired and sluggish, while eating healthy foods gives us the energy we need to stay active and focused.

Taking Care of Our Physical Well-being

To improve our physical health, we can:

  • Exercise for at least 30 minutes a day.
  • Eat a balanced diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables.
  • Drink water instead of sugary drinks.
  • Get enough sleep to let our bodies recover and grow.
  • Reduce screen time and spend more time being active.

When we take care of our bodies, we feel stronger, happier, and more confident. Good physical health helps us enjoy life and do our best in everything we do!

Rounding Rules

We are learning to round numbers to make data easier to use

 

Today, we used Google Drawings to create a Rounding Rules Poster.  We wrote the key steps for rounding and added examples for rounding to the nearest 10, 100, and 1,000. To make our posters engaging, we used colours, images, and number lines to explain the rules clearly.
