Repurposing sale only 2 weeks out!

Our groups in Room 3 have been working hard on their repurposing projects. Each company are making their own presentation about what they are going to make and how much it will cost. Thier aim is to make the greatest profit possible. They are not allowed to use new things and almost all of the materials must be recycled.



Statistics and graphs

Room 3 have been learning to use the Numbers software to help us graph our information for repurposing. It helps each group get a great visual picture of how they are going to make a profit for market day.
