Tui's post.

It's rubbish/recycling day so we used the opportunity to do a bit more on our earth project and math at the same time. Jacob lined up the recycling into groups and Pearl counted all of the items. Tui worked out all of the following information then put it into a bar graph and then wrote this 'report'
We sorted out the recycling and this is what we found,
This week we recycled 3 milk bottles 4 cans 2 glass bottles 3 containers 3 bags and 1 coke bottle.
To work out how much we recycled each month (If it was the same each week) we multiplied everything by 4.
Milk bottles. 4x3 = 12
Cans 4x4 = 16
Glass bottles 4x2 = 8
Containers 4x3 = 12
Plastic bags 4x3 = 12
Coke bottles 4x1 = 4

Then we used a calculator to multiply everything by 12
Milk bottles. 144
Cans 192
Glass bottles 96
Containers 144
Plastic bags 144
Coke bottles 48

This survey did not count paper and carboard or any thing that we have kept to reuse.
