Where In The World?

Sixth graders in Mrs. Petrie's Math Class are finishing a cross curriculm project exploring research strategies within vested online resources, chart building using Microsoft Excel and presentation design of information synthesized by the students using online poster maker Edu.Glogster.com. Students made connections between their own personal life experiences to those of people in other countries, using data they gathered, prepared and analyzed.  Students used Edu.Glogster to produce and present information about a country they might live in and why.

The Essential question for this project is "How can global human population statistics help us make decisions about our own lives?" The Unit question for this piece is "How do statistics help us understand the world?"
