Data Management Math unit

We are starting a new math unit this week, which deals with reading and creating graphs and other ways of organizing data.  There are models of how to create different types of graphs here: https://husky67.pbworks.com/Data+Management+-+Graphing+-+Probability.  Extra practice can be found here: http://www.nelsonk8math.com/math6/studentcentre/studsurf.html#ch3 or here: http://www.nelsonk8math.com/math6/studentcentre/studtryout.html#ch3.  For parents who want to help their student out with the math homework, there are some helpful tips and answers here: http://www.nelsonk8math.com/math6/parentcentre/parentcentre.html.  Don't forget to make use of the glossary at the back of your text book.  We already discovered some useful information about describing trends in a graph.  Finally, we will be making use of an online graph creator that you may find helpful.  You can create most types of graphs here: http://nces.ed.gov/nceskids/createagraph/default.aspx.  Just make sure you remember to print when you complete the graph, because it is sometimes hard to save with this program.
