Students then exercise and take their post-exercise pulse rates, organize, and display these data, finding the median and range. Students compare the exercise results with the resting pulse rates. The student solves problems by collecting, organizing, displaying, and interpreting sets of data. They construct a graph they feel will be appropriate in supporting their requests for specific foods to be served in the school cafeteria. Clarifying Activity Students work in groups of three or four to interview other students in the class to find their favorite cereal.
Students graph the results of the survey and use the results to plan a class breakfast.
As students construct the cereal graph, they analyze the steps they need to take to construct it.
