Over the final weeks before Christmas, the grade six students will be choosing ONE question from the Census at School questionnaire. They will be looking at the class results as well as comparing this to Canadian and in some cases, South African results. By the end of the this project, students will have the follow SIX items in their analysis:1) An introduction outlining the question and their predictions
2) A frequency table of the class results and a table showing Canadian results over the past several years
3) A pictograph of the class results
4) A double bar graph which shows how our class results compare to Canadian results
5) A line graph which shows the Canadian results over time
6) A conclusion which comments on the results and on the validity of their initial predictions
As students progress through this project, criteria for each of the items will be developed and posted. While in the school, look at our data wall which will show the project in action!
Deadlines for each of the components of the project are as follows:
- December 7 = Introduction and predictions
- December 11 = Data tables
- December 14 = Pictograph of class results
- December 17 = Double bar graph of Class versus Canadian results
- December 18 = Line graph of Canadian results over time
- December 19 = Conclusion and reflections on the data
