The task is cut off after “how do we …”, so the exact project title is missing. The likely meaning is: survey how students travel to school, make a tally for journeys of more than 2 km, and present a project about how we get to school. If that is right, use this method.
1. Collect the data
Ask each student:
- How do you travel to school? — walk, bike, bus, car, train, other.
- Is your usual journey more than 2 km? — yes/no.
Measure the route on a map. Exactly 2 km is not “more than 2 km”.
2. Make a tally chart
Use tally marks in groups of five: |||| then a diagonal line for the fifth.
| Travel method | 2 km or less | More than 2 km | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Walk | |||
| Bike | |||
| Bus | |||
| Car | |||
| Other |
Check that every row and column adds up to the number of students surveyed.
3. Work out percentages
For any group: \[ \text{percentage}=\frac{\text{number in that group}}{\text{total number surveyed}}\times 100\% \]
For example, if 7 out of 20 students travel more than 2 km: \[ \frac{7}{20}\times100\%=35\% \]
4. Present the project
Include:
- Title and research question.
- Prediction.
- Method: who you asked and how you measured distance.
- Tally chart.
- Bar graph with number of students on the vertical axis.
- Results: totals, percentages and the most common method.
- Conclusion, for example: “Of 20 students, 7 travel more than 2 km. Most of them come by bus.”
- One improvement: ask more students or check distances more accurately.
