Data Detectives
These simple survey sheets give Foundation students a basic introduction to collecting data from their classmates using simple questions and tally marks. Students will then interpret the data to determine which option was more popular in their class.
You may choose to print a variety of options for your class to work on as they survey each other or you may choose one survey for the whole class.
