Gumboot Throwing Maths - By Devin with a little help from Finn and Billy

Hey!

We are learning to plot data on a stem-and-leaf graph and make statements that compare two sets of data.

Here is the boys gumboot throw data.

Here are the statements that we came up with:

• The boys threw the longest and shortest distances.
• There are only six people who threw more than ten metres.
• The girls have less gumboot throws between 10m-19m than the boys.
• Only one girl threw ten metres.
• The boys lowest throw was two metres and the girls lowest throw was four metres.
