How many words in a sentence?
This activity will help you to sort data into groups, draw a graph and interpret the results.
You will need a book, plain paper, squared paper, a pencil and a ruler.
Open your book at the beginning of a chapter and count the number of words in the first sentence. Record the number on the plain paper.
Count the number of words in the next sentence and record it. Repeat until you have counted the words in over 50 sentences.
Draw a frequency table and group the data into sentences with 1–4 words, 5–8 words, 9–12 words, and so on. Count how many sentences belong to each category and write the numbers in the table. For example:
Number of words in the sentence
Frequency
1–4 2
5–8 7
9–12 11
13–16 13
17–20 19
more than 20 7
Draw a pictogram to show the results. Use a ruler to draw the axes and remember your key.
