Math Week 11-28-16 is DATA WEEK!

7th/8th: All students will be learning about data displays. We will look at how data is displayed and why we display it the way we do. We are having Data Week to get ready for Science Fair--knowing students will need to display and interpret data for their projects. Specifically this week, we will focus on three topics: misleading graphs, circle (pie) graphs, and scatter plots. Lots of helpful links and videos below.
