As their final class project, students build a Local History website using the correspondences within the project, as well as their own research. Students in a 6th grade math class are learning about Statistics. Their assignment is to come up with a research project in which they gather and compile date related to a community issue and then report on their Statistical findings. Students join with others around the world in examining their own lives and communities and broader issues relating to social justice and equality from a mathematical perspective. They ask others in the project all around the world to complete a brief survey relating to the issue of Smoking, including questions about media advertising, rates of smoking in schools around the world, and attitudes about smoking.
Students create a graph depicting their numeric data or statistics on a theme of interest.
After creating the graph the students explain the information that it conveys and write about the implications they think the data projects. Senior students in chemistry are studying the chemical make-up of various pollutants in their environment. Students submit their work to the online project group and receive critiques, feedback, and encouragement from their online peers around the world. In addition, they assume the role of peer editors for the work of their online peers, learning how to analyze and critique works themselves. Students are studying to learn Spanish.
