Our Math Project


Statistics and data are very important in our world because they help us learn many things about a certain group or a lot of different groups together. We can gather information on a specific topic that can be measured and analyzed in charts and graphs. From this information, we can compare different groups and make informed and smart decisions.

An example of how statistics and data are used in the U.S. is through the National Census. The Census takes information about every household in the U.S. for a number of different reasons. Some reasons this data is collected is to see how many people are living in certain areas, the range of ages and races of those people, how much money each state should get from the government and a lot of other things.

Our Math project will focus around statistics, data, charts and graphs. We will be creating and taking surveys on different pop culture topics such as music, movies, tv shows, books, technology, sports, food, fashion, video games, and school to learn how these topics effect the Cavallaro family. We will gather and analyze all of this data by creating charts and graphs and then we will present our findings so that we and other people can learn from our information.


The Project will consist of 3 major parts:
You will be using Google Docs for each part of the project

1. Pop Culture Survey - Your group will create a survey of 5-10 questions on a specific pop culture topic that you decide upon. You must describe what your group wants to learn from your survey (HYPOTHESIS). Each person in your class, as well as 15 other people (family, friends) will have to take your survey. You should have at least 45 survey responses.

2. Charts and Graphs - Once you have collected all of your survey results, you will create at least 4 different charts and graphs describing your findings. You may create charts to represent different types of data such as a chart with just the responses from boys or a chart showing the most popular tv shows.

3. PowerPoint Presentation - Finally, using all of your data, information and charts, you will create a PowerPoint presentation that you will present to the rest of the class. You will have to explain your project, what you have found out about the Cavallaro family and how math played a role in you completing your project.



Please COMMENT to this post! Include what Pop Culture topic your group chose and what you plan to learn from this topic (HYPOTHESIS). Only 1 person per group needs to comment, but include ONLY the first names of everyone in your group.
