Te+Tauanga

I used this Tauanga task in a class of Tau 7. It went really well and the teacher and I were able to find next steps in learning for these children.

This activity has a range of questions for childen to choose from and includes the use of discrete, continuous and category data. Some of the information we found fom this activity was:  50 degrees, 100 degrees or using makariri / mahana); they had very little knowledge of Te Reo Matatini o te Tauanga.

 * Did the gathering of data match the question asked E.g - A question started with "he aha nga momo..." and children were recording numeric values
 * Were they able to effectively organise their data
 * What type of data display did they use E.g. kauwhata pou, whakaahua
 * Did they know the "tikanga o nga kauwhata" E.g. tuaka pou, tuaka pae, taitara etc
