After we finished our voting on our favourite landmarks in Paris we were set the NUMERACY challenge of putting them in order of preference of the whole class. We were given 15 mins to decide on a method by which to rate our choices. We considered tally charts, voting for our favourites and least favourites and several other methods. Eventually Molly's group and Daniel's group decided on the Eurovision Song Contest method of voting: 7 points for each favourite vote down to 1 for our least favourite. We then multiplied each score by the number of votes and added the final scores together. Click on our score card for a break down of our results.

Our favourite Parisian Landmarks in order were:

Euro Disney

The Eiffel Tower

The Louvre

Notre Dame

The Champs Elysees

The Sacre Coeur

The Arc de Triomphe

We were also set the challenge of finding a way in which to represent our results. Some thought that a table would be a good idea, while others suggested graphs. Find out tomorrow which method we have decided upon.

What would your choice be and why?
