On 14<\/span>th<\/span><\/sup> July we tackled our largest ever Outreach event in a primary school, involving all 240 pupils and staff at Vale View Community School in Dover in an investigation into the relationship between height and shoe size. This was part of a week-long programme of activities bringing science and maths to life and supported their day of activities on the theme \u2018All about me\u2019.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Once Year 6 had taken part in the investigation, they then split into small groups to lead the investigation and the data collection exercise with the remaining classes in the school – they were very enthusiastic advocates of an investigation supported by data. The life-size scatter diagram, with data points distinguished by class colour, was displayed proudly in the School Hall. <\/span><\/p>\n

Year 6 then continued to use graphical representations to investigate different aspects of the relationships between height, shoe size, eye- and hair-colour and to draw their own conclusions about the rate at which children grow.<\/span><\/p>\n

This event was run by Alexa Laurence and Diana Cole, supported by Freyja Bills, an SMSAS Ambassador.<\/span><\/p>\n
