Description of Our Project
We will be looking at different diverse groups in math and science and relating that to diversity in our community.
Questions From Mr. Heron
Question 1. What is diversity?
Question 2. How do we see diversity in math and science?
Question 3. How do you see diversity in your community?

Big Idea for Content Area: Data Analysis: Reading, understanding, interpreting, and communicating data are critical in modeling a variety of real-world situations, drawing appropriate inferences, making informed decisions, and justifying those decisions.
Essential Question for Content Area: How can the collection, organization, interpretation, and display of data be used to answer questions?
Enduring Understandings: -The message conveyed by the data depends on how the data is collected, represented, and summarized.
-The results of a statistical investigation can be used to support or refute an argument.

How can the collection, organization, interpretation, and display of data be used to answer questions?
How can the diversity of the US population be represented mathematically?
How has the population of the United States changed in the last two decades?
What changes can we expect or predict in terms of the US racial make up in 10 years?
