DINO DATA

Dig Up The Truth!

Paleontologists Needed! The fossil site is full of bones, but we need to organize them. Dino Data is a Year 3 Statistics game where you use scaled pictograms to classify your findings.

A single skull picture doesn't always mean one dinosaur. Check the Key to see if it stands for 2, 5, or even 10 dinos!

ðŸĶī FIELD GUIDE

  • 🔑
    THE KEY IS KING "Key: ðŸĶī = 2". This means every bone picture counts as two. Half a bone counts as one!
  • ➕
    TOTAL IT UP Count in 2s, 5s, or 10s to find the total number of fossils in a row.
  • ðŸĶ–
    COMPARE FINDINGS "How many more T-Rexes than Raptors?" Subtract the smaller amount from the larger one.

ðŸŒŋ PARENT DIG TIPS

Support your young scientist:

  • "If one picture represents 10, how much is half a picture?" (5)
  • "Let's count in 5s: 5, 10, 15, 20..."
  • "Which dinosaur is the most popular? Which is the least?"
