2.2+Comparing+Your+Class+to+the+Nation+1011

December 4th, 2010 MH ** Big Idea: ** Many important practical and mathematical applications involve comparing quantities of one kind or another; it is important to know which method to use and how we should use them. ** Essential Question: ** How can we use percentages to compare different sets of data? ** 2.2 Comparing Your Class to the Nation ** || ** Activity ** ** You conducted a class survey at the beginning of this investigation. Now, organize the results for bicycle riding, camping, and exercise walking, fishing, and swimming into a table similar to the one on page 17. (This is shown above.) Your table should have separate columns for males and ffemales. ** ** A. ** ** Look back at the tree statements you wrote in part B of problem 2.1 comparing the numbers of male and female participants in the various activities. Now, make the same comparisons for boys and girls in your class. **
