This project allows you to meet the following National Standards:

Language Arts

Evaluating Data: Students conduct research on issues and interests by generating ideas and questions, and by posing problems. They gather, evaluate, and synthesize data from a variety of sources (e.g., print and nonprint texts, artifacts, people) to communicate their discoveries in ways that suit their purpose and audience.

Applying Language Skills: Students use spoken, written, and visual language to accomplish their own purposes (e.g., for learning, enjoyment, persuasion, and the exchange of information).

Mathematics

Understand numbers, ways of representing numbers, relationships among numbers, and number systems

Understand meanings of operations and how they relate to one another

Use mathematical models to represent and understand quantitative relationships

Formulate questions that can be addressed with data and collect, organize, and display relevant data to answer

Select and use appropriate statistical methods to analyze data

Develop and evaluate inferences and predictions that are based on data

Technology

Students use technology tools to enhance learning, increase productivity, and promote creativity.
