Statistical Investigation

LI: To read the text, gather sort, graph and analyse the data

Our maths group created a diagram which shows the top six rivers in Auckland from smallest to largest. We used our collaborative skills to find out the data of each river. We put these rivers in this order from shortest to longest: Whanau River 5.7 km , Puhoi River 13 km , Tamaki River  15km, Waitakere River 16km, Hoteo River 28 km, and Waiora River 65 km. We used our knowledge to come to the conclusion on what river is the longest out of the 6 rivers in Auckland, which is Waiora 65 km (kilometers).

I found this activity interesting because I never knew that one of the rivers in Auckland was 65 km. This was also challenging because I didn’t know what the y axis and x axis mean in statistics.
