Homework for Tuesday, Sept 17

Homework:  Three Graphs and Four Observations (total)
1) Three Observations:
You need to use the two graphs you made last night (of your partner's and your data) to make THREE wonderful observations.
 - These observations should compare your two histograms, specifically noting what you observe about the differences and similarities in their shapes.
 - It is best if you try to make at least one observation regarding a similarity and one regarding a difference, but this is not required.
 - These observations should be made on a separate piece of paper; you may hand write or type them.
 - Use the fabulous vocabulary, numbers, and examples as we practiced in class today; be brave and adventurous and try new words!
 - Dig deep, making these observations better than you could have made in the 3rd grade, eh?
 - You may make more than three observations if you want additional feedback.
*HINT - I should be able to tell from your explanation what your point is and what the data you are comparing looks like without looking at your graphs.

2) Combined Data Graph and One Observation
You need to make one new graph that is a stack bar combining your coin data with your partner's, then one brilliant observation about how your graph changed shape with the addition of your partner's data.
- You should use the same scale and the same colors that you used in your first two graphs; be sure to indicate these colors in a legend on this page as well.
- Stack one set of data on top of the other set making those bars higher; the total in one "bar" should be represented by the total amount listed on the left hand side of the graph.
- Your observation for this section should discuss how the shape of your data changed (or did not).  Remember, telling me that there are "more coins now," or, "my bars got higher," does not tell me anything that I wouldn't know without even needing to look at your graph.  So LOOK and observe!
- This observation should be made on the same page as your graph, although you can do it on another sheet of paper (hand written or typed) if you are concerned about neatness.

All of this is Due Wednesday
