Description of how to implement in the class: Students will be divided into groups of 3-4 students
and will be given the task to take a survey of 20 teachers and or faculty in the school. These questions
involve things like number of vehicles, favorite ice cream, etc. of values that can be expressed by
counting. This will be limited to 10 questions. The students will then gather together to analyze the
data and determine what the mean, median, mode, range, and interquartile range is for each
question. They will then create graphs by hand and then insert these graphs into a Sway assignment.
The students then have to present each slide of the Sway and talk about what they found in there
group. Even though they may have interviewed a few of the same teachers, they probably received
different answers. After each group has presented, they must talk about what was difficult about the
data and tell if anything stuck out to them as a group.
Level of Technology Implementation (LoTi): LoTi 5

Description of the sample spreadsheet and graph/chart provided *: Students will create their
own tables and graphs by hand or by using a BPT like Excel if they wish.
