Estimating lines & Angles
I will investigate whether people picked at random can estimate line length better than angle size.
I will then develop it by studying my answers and see if e.g 11 year olds are at estimating line length or angle size than 16 year olds.
Hypothesis:
People are better at estimating line length than angle size
16 year olds are better at estimating line length than 11 year olds.
Method:
* I'll draw 3 Lines on plain paper at different angles so they can not use markings on the paper to guess or help them get the length.
* I'll also draw 3 angles on plain paper at different angles so they can not use markings on the paper to guess or help them get the size.
* Then I'll pick the students a random by first numbering all the students, then using the random number generator on the calculator I can find the students I want by converting that number - e.g 88 - to a person - e.g Joe Bloggs year 7
