Comparing Traffic in Front of Our Schools

See more about our exchanges with friends in Japan.

Our friends in Japan in Mr. Isamu Shimazaki's class sent us a graph showing us the traffic in front of their school.

They wrote, "We checked he numbers that passed around our school. people 6 bicycles 3 bikes 7 cars 183 truckes 118 this data were checked about thirty minutes. I'd like to add graphs about this theme. Thanks, Isamu"

Delmar students in Mrs. Weeg's computer classes predicted what the numbers might be when they counted the traffic in front of our school. Then they went outside, made a tally sheet and counted the traffic in front of our school on October 6.

Students looked at the information they gathered and tried to guess where Isamu's school is located compared to the location of Delmar Elementary School/
