Write at least 5 things you have learned about fingerprints.
In table groups, we looked at our fingerprint data from yesterday and found the total of each type of fingerprint in our class. Students had different ways of grouping the numbers to find their totals.
Our next step was to learn about different types of data- discrete and continuous.
Our final step was to create our own graphs of the fingerprints. We determined that a series of points in the type of graph needed as counting our fingerprint types is discrete data.
We took our learning outside this afternoon. We were investigating footprints in the snow. We were looking at direction, the order prints were left when there were more than one set and they overlapped in places and how the person who left the prints might have been moving (walking, running). Students then partnered up and created their own footprint "crime scene" where they each made some prints in a small area and then another partner group tried to determine who had left the prints, what direction they were going and whose prints were left first.
