4. Have everyone walk around and ask one another to answer their survey question. It’s okay if you have a few of the same questions as this allows the group to check for accuracy and note any discrepancies.
5. Once the tally sheets are complete, divide tutors into pairs and ask each pair to choose a type of graph. You may need to discuss types of graphs such as bar, line or pie. Each pair then collates their findings on the graph paper. Each pair can present their graph to the rest of the group.
6. Ask tutors to identify the skills a learner would develop and use in doing a survey.

With smaller groups

7. If your group is small, you won’t need to create a tally sheet. Instead, you can ask a few questions and record each person’s responses on the flip chart. If more than one person agrees with the same answer, put a check mark beside it to indicate more than one person has the same answer.
8. Once everyone has answered the questions, have tutors decide on a type of graph (bar, line or pie). Have someone draw the graph either on flip chart or graph paper and record the findings from the survey.
9. Ask tutors to identify the skills a learner would develop and use in doing a survey.

STEP-BY-STEP PROCESS

1. Give tutors the handout Building a Shed and have them complete the assignment working in pairs or small groups.
2. Have each group share their findings with the rest.
3. Have tutors brainstorm why this would be a good activity for them to use with a learner.
4. Ask tutors to identify the skills learners would develop and use in an estimation activity.
