Research Project

The Task

Ask for assistance and or support at any time.  You will not lose marks for seeking guidance and support in selecting and refining your topic.

Select a social justice issue or one of personal of interest to your group (no more than 3, preferably 2). All topics must be approved by me prior to research. 

Once you have selected your topic, begin conducting your research. I will work with each group to ensure your survey questions flow from your research (do no start with your survey questions) .  Remember that you will be asked to share as much about your topic through your presentation as possible.

The rubric, details and other resources are posted on the website (math411.blogspot.ca)

Ensure that you are using appropriate graphs for your grade (see highlighted areas).

Ensure that you have a data table identifying fractions, decimals, and percentages aligned with your graph results. (see me for clarification, if required)

Your presentation should be informative and engaging as you deliver your findings to the class.

While you may use a poster, you may also use any websites, software or programs to enhance your delivery (i.e. prezi, tagxedo, wordle, ppt, etc.).  

You will be expected to conduct a survey of the class using google docs/google drive. Your graphs and charts will be created based on this data.

Presentations to the class will begin on Nov 1.
