Investigation 5 * Session 1
---------------------------
Data: Kids, Cats, and Ads [And serious injuries???]


Here's the what my 5th grade wrote about a statistics investigation in
Dale Seymour. I had noted it was a bit odd that in the cultural
sensitivity section, it said that students not good in english might
need to know terminology about serious medical injuries and
hospitalization. Students were to ask each other how many and what
kinds and severity of injuries they had on the school grounds. The
final result was a tally of injuries by severity of each classroom in
the 5th and 6th grades. Now that's a fun, real life topic.  Why not
tally assaults and racial incidents??

Now find the 5th grade MATH in this project....

Practicing the Survey Questions

What was it like to answer the questions?


I felt nervous. I was nervous becuse its' hard to answer your problems
and injuries in front of another person. It's also hard to remember
and talk out, your experiences. Other than being nervous, I think the
interview went pretty well. I answered every question in a positive
way and did everything right.

Now interview one or more people yourself.

Write how well you think the questions wrked, and suggest how to make
them better

I think the questions really well. It was good that my brother
answered every questions seriously , said the answers in a big voice,
and he wasn't nervous. I think the questions would've been easier to
understand I would've gave more details, discribed the question
better, and if I put in better and more serious questions.
