Statistics - Junior Style.

W Are Learning To: use tally marks to record data.
We all had a snack bag of chips and we had to work out the average number per bag.  We recorded one tally mark per chip we ate.  As you can imagine we loved this activity.  We also all know what a tally mark is and how to use it.
