📊 Part 2: Understanding Our Safety Data

3. Look at this bar graph showing how 20 students feel about different safety strategies:

Teacher: Draw a simple bar graph showing: Tell a teacher (15 students), Walk away (12 students), Get help from friends (8 students), Ignore it (3 students)

4. Using the graph above, answer these questions:

Which safety strategy do most students choose? ____________________

How many more students choose "Tell a teacher" than "Ignore it"? _______ students

What fraction of students choose "Walk away"? _______ out of 20 = _______

5. Probability: If you pick one student randomly from this group, which safety strategy are they MOST LIKELY to choose?

🗺️ Part 3: Safety Maps and Grid References

6. Look at this school map grid. Use the compass directions to answer the questions:

Teacher: Draw a simple 4x4 grid map with: A1-Library, B3-Playground, C2-Office, D4-Gate, with compass rose showing raki/North, tonga/South, rāwhiti/East, uru/West

7. Using the map above, fill in the blanks:

The Library is located at grid reference ________

If you walk from the Playground (B3) to the Office (C2), you travel ________ and then ________

The safest route from the Gate to the Library would go through the ________ first because ________________

8. Circle the compass direction (reo Māori and English):

If you're facing the school gate and turn towards the playground, you turn:

🌟 Part 5: Safety Statistics Challenge

12. Create your own investigative question about safety at school:

My question: ________________________________________________
