6R: What could this image be?

Whilst planning this week, I came across this interesting graphic – what could it be? What does it represent?

I challenged 6R to… do some maths with it! What could they come up with? We had fractions, percentages, pie charts and more. Check out some of their responses below. What do you think it could be?

  1. At first I thought these dots were something to do with the school parliament, but it turns out it is a seating plan for the real government and each colour represents a party.

  2. These dots all represent a MP there are 650 MP’s so that’s how many dots there are. The different colours are all the different parties in the United Kingdom. We all had to guess what is was and after that we did any kind of maths with it (for instance some of us did BODMAS).

  3. This is a chart representing all the MPs seating in parliament, each colour being a constituency/party. So the red dots is the labour party, The blue dots are the conservative party and the other colours being smaller partys.

  5. I thought it was the amount of votes for the reading badge but it wasnt! It was actually the seating plan for the parliament! The red is labour and the blue are conservative.

  6. Dear Mr Flint,

    Before we where told what they represent I thought it was a seating plan as well but for like a show. The dots actually represent all the MPs all in there parties like green party and labour party each dot represents a MP.

  7. At first glance I thought it was a seating plan of some sort, each dot representing a person, but its really the seating plan of the uk parliament, each color representing a party, blue conservative red labor etc. We made our own equations with it, and we just had fun. 🙂

  9. I was shocked when we found out that this is a seating plan for parliament.
    I was really excited when Mr Hyde told us that we could write a speech for a cabinet member. Good luck to everyone going for a Cabinet member.

  11. Thanks for putting me straight, 6R. Do you think our parliament would be better if it wasn’t red v blue v yellow etc etc? No colours, no sides, no tribes. Could that work?
