Some of our sixth grade students are in the process of learning data analysis and usage of charts/graphs through survey analysis. In these classes students are divided into groups and are asked to develop a series of questions regarding a topic for which they would like to collect data. The students involved in this project then ask other students and classes to give responses to their questions. These responses are turned into charts and graphs for further analysis.
Several of the students who are working on this project in Ms. Hamlow's math class consulted with me about posting the questions on my blog for data collection. In response, I have created polls where the all sixth grade students can submit their responses to the questions posed in the projects. These polls can be found to the left of this blog entry.
All sixth grade students are encouraged to vote on this item! The polls will be opened until next Friday, December 19th!
