The following items will be needed for participation in this project:
While the project, Connecting Math to our Lives, requires a lot of data collection outside of the classroom, students do need to access the website to post the data, discuss the data with other classes, and interact with online professionals and facilitators. Students are asked to collect data on how math is connected to their daily lives and the lives of others. Students take specific data and generate statistics about the community and society in which they live. For this, students can record their data in Microsoft Excel or Word (Math Equation Editor). The collaborative aspect of this project requires students share their data with the other classes around the world. Students will need computers as well as a viable internet connection. In addition, the students will need a webcam and microphone. This is for communicating with other classes around the world and interacting with the experts and facilitators. Students can do this through a website such as Skype. If the internet is not working, then students can certainly analyze data with partners or in small groups until they are able to reconnect.
