Please identify opportunities for differentiation. Students will be assessed on their graphs and the accuracy of the statistical data. ||
 * Title: ||< statistics ||
 * Subject: ||< Math ||
 * Grade: ||< 6th ||
 * Purpose: || to have students use graphical representations, statistics and ratios and percents. ||
 * Time Frame: ||< 1 week ||
 * Summary: ||< Students will see the student survey from 2011 and decide which topic they want to create a survey on. The groups will go to polls.com to create a survey. All students (each class that I have) will answer these questions on the survey. The students will have to summarize their data using graphs which they will generate using the computer. They will also answer questsions on mean, media, mode and range. Students can also send their survey to other spring branch schools and compare results. We will revisit the activity when we study ratios and percents. ||
 * Tasks: ||< 1) Describe the main steps of the activity/lesson/project here
 * 6th grade math statistics, ratios and percents. ||
 * Objectives: || * What content expectations or other objectives does this activity/lesson/project meet? Students will choose an appropriate display of data. When do do ratios and percents the students will go back to the survey and graphical representation and use ratios and percents to describe the data. Students will also define key vocabulary terms such as statistics, line graph, bar graph, line plot, and stem and leaf plot. Other terms are mean, median, mode and range. The students will create words for the word wall and post the definitions on a wiki.
 * Please include at least one "Mash-Up" objective here, as well (student roles, Information Literacy, global empathy, higher-order thinking, etc.) Students will be responsible for selecting a topic to survey and creating the survey questions. They will then have to analyze the data. ||
 * Assessment: ||< How will you assess the students learning?
 * Resources: ||< * What resources will be needed? laptops. polls.com, graphing sites, district survey results. ||
 * Examples: ||< * Links to teacher or student examples. ||
