MATH SURVEY AND GRAPHING PROJECT

Due: April 30, 2014

  1. Come up with a question to use in your survey. Remember, your question should have one numbered answer to it. Make sure there are a wide variety of answers.
  2. How old are you?
  3. What is your shoe size?
  4. How tall are you? (convert to inches by multiplying height by 12)
  5. What is your address? (# only)
  6. What date were you born on? (#1-31)
  7. What is your favorite number?
  1. Survey 25 - 49 people. Tally the results on the sheet that you previously made containing the response choices. * Use an odd number of people.
  2. Display your data in the following ways:
  3. Stem-and-Leaf Plot
  4. Box –and-Whisker Plot
  5. Histogram
  1. In addition to the three displays in number 3, choose two other ways to display your data. (Each additional way will count as extra credit)
  • Line Graph
  • Line Plot
  • Scatter Plot
  • Bar Graph
  • Circle Graph (Pie Chart with Percents)
  • Tally Chart
  • Pictograph
  1. Use a poster board to glue your graphs and charts to for your finished project. Make sure each graph is labeled appropriately.
