You guessed it (but we didn't) - SILVER
This week we predicted, ventured, tallied and graphed which colour was the most popular for the cars at Y.B.P.S. To the amazement of some students it wasn't pink or blue.

Yesterday we discussed which
colours we see most on cars and why. We then
predicted the most popular colour would be white, basing this on
students prior knowledge about the cars they see on the road and the
cars that mum and dad drive. After predicting we took to the road (from
inside the school gate of course) and started tallying the colours to
see if we were right.
Today we took the information we gathered through tallying and represented it on a bar graph. We had to organise our data and use our critical thinking skills to develop the bar graph. What we found out:
Today we took the information we gathered through tallying and represented it on a bar graph. We had to organise our data and use our critical thinking skills to develop the bar graph. What we found out:
- The most popular colour was silver followed very closely by white.
- The least popular colour was blue.
- We didn't expect to see any purple or green cars, but we did and they were a hit and many students' favourites.
We started our venture looking at the cars in the main staff car park.
We then went to the car park near block 1.
We then used the tallied data to create our bar graphs.
Guess what colour car I drive?
