From our Homework Board

1.  The Math Performance Task is due by the end of Math Class on Tuesday

To make sure that they are able to take advantage of class time they need to make sure they have a survey question that will fit with the format of the assignment.  Their data needs to fit onto a stem and leaf plot.  This means that answers must be numerical and have a range of numbers.  An example question would be: How long are the 30 top grossing movies of all time?  How much does the  30 top soccer players per season|?  How tall are are 30 students in the Junior division at O.M. Mackilliop?  I have told the students that if they are not sure of their questions, they can email me.  I have also suggested that if they are doing internet research for their questions, they should do it over the weekend, so that they can work on the graphing part of the assignment on Monday. (below are all the forms that are needed to complete the task)

2.  There will be a short math test on scatter plots and line graphs on Tuesday.  They will begin as soon as they get in and when they are finished, they will continue with their task.

3.  There will be a Science Quiz on Thursday, January 24th on the forces that contribute to flight and bernoulli's principle and Gallileo's Theory.

4.  Two students a week will be asked to find a current event news article, online or in print and will present it the class using a template.  This week, Jordan and Lucas volunteered to start this off.

5.  Students must complete their second, or reworked personal memoirs and have them handed in to me by Wednesday.

Data Management Performance Task
Due at the end of class time on Tuesday, January 22
Curriculum Expectations to be Met:
6m70
Collection and Organization of Data
– collect data by conducting a survey (e.g., use an Internet survey tool) or an experiment to do with themselves, their environment, issues in their school or community, or content from another subject, and record observations or measurements;
6m71
Collection and Organization of Data
– collect and organize discrete or continuous primary data and secondary data  and display the data in charts, tables, and graphs (including continuous line graphs) that have appropriate titles, labels  and scales (e.g., with appropriate increments) that suit the range and distribution of the data, using a variety of tools
6m75
Data Relationships
– compare, through investigation, different graphical representations of the same data (Sample problem: Use technology to help you compare the different types of graphs that can be created to represent a set of data about the number of runs or goals scored against each team in a tournament. Describe the similarities and differences that you observe.);

1.        Choose a question that you would like to answer.  It can refer to an issue at school,  in the environment or on the internet.
2.      Write an appropriate survey question to ask the subjects of your survey.  Remember to make sure the question can be answered in multiple ways and give your subjects choices in their answers (if applicable).
3.      Collect your data from at least 30 people using a tally chart.
4.      Display your data using a steam and leaf plot.
5.      Choose a graph to represent the data .  You may use a bar graph, double bar graph, histogram, or line graph to show your data.  Explain why you chose that graph.
6.      Create a second graph and present your data in a biased way.  Explain what you did to make the data appear in a more positive way.
7.     You must submit all data, questionnaires and responses, including rough copies.
8.      All graphs must be labelled and neatly presented.



My Project needs:
Data collection
·       tally sheets showing information
·       data recorded correctly
·       Stem and Leaf plot showing results
Graphs
·       Two graphs (bar graph, double bar graph, histogram, line graph)
·       my graphs used different scales , one showing bias

Graph #1
·title
·labels
·scale
·neat and accurate bars
Stem and Leaf Plot
·       Title
·       Labels
·       Neat and Accurate
Graph #2
·    title
·    labels
·    scale
·    accurate points
Summary
·       a conclusion based on the data
·       an explanation of why I chose a certain type of graph
·       an explanation of how the different scales change the view of the graph

Neatness Counts!
