Project: ABC Math Book

Students in PAP-6 and PAP-6/7 will be working on a project in class, but will usually need to also finish each day's assignment for homework.

4 Daily grades are being taken on sections of the book and an overall MAJOR grade will be taken.  Completed projects are due on Thurs, May 2.  Students will be giving a quick oral presentation of their favorite 3 to 5 pages from their book.

Yes...we asked them to bring candy!

The 6th Grade Math teachers have asked the students to bring either Skittles or M&M candy for a probability lesson on Thursday April 11.  They need to be the snack size packets.  They CANNOT contain any nuts (peanuts, almonds, etc) due to several students with severe allergies.

PROJECT: Displaying Data Graphically

Each teacher is using a slightly different format for this project so that we get a variety of different graphs, charts, tables, etc.  The information list below is from Mrs. Rebeles' class.  Check with your child and/or teacher to clarify information from another teacher.

There are two separate projects.  One is for PAP-6 and PAP-6/7 students and the other is only for the GT students.

This is a sample of a project for the PAP-6 and PAP-6/7 classes. Students need to survey 50 people.

They also need to get the participants initials.  This not only shows that the data is real (and not just made up) but also shows when all 5 pieces of data are shown.


From the data collected, the student will construct a double-bar graph.  The sub-categories need to be noted in the key.



The total column will be used to create circle graph.  The data will be converted to a percent (use FDP) then approximate percentages will be used to create the circle graph.


Notes: More Tables and Graphs
