One of our aims at Seabury School is to provide meaningful, real life projects for our students. After learning how to read graphs and how to order data, the Mathematicians (what I fondly call my students):
- chose a question
- came up with a way to record their data
- surveyed their lower school schoolmates and teachers
- made a bar graph on graph paper
- made computerized bar, line, and pie graphs
- analyzed their findings
Here is the process and the results. Be sure to take note of their interesting questions.
At the end of the week, we took a chapter test
and EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS!
REAL MATH WORKS!!
REAL MATH WORKS!!
Cue happy teacher dance!
