Name _____________________ Date ____________________

Answer the following questions during class time. This will be due at the end of class today. During your presentations, I will be using this sheet to discuss how you conducted your survey and what the results reflect.

1. Think of when you have had to collect data or take a survey (any previous work in your science classes that involved collecting and compiling data count as an example). What things do you remember as being important when gathering data?

2. Right now, part of what you are doing involves checking to see if what you predicted comes close in actuality. Thus, you are experimenting and testing to see if your predictions were close. Explain to me how you can relate what you are doing now with what we did when we experimented with the dice in backgammon.

3. Please provide me with your survey question and the ratios or percents you calculated with each question(s).

4. As of today you were only responsible for surveying your math class. If you surveyed more people do you think they would continue to confirm the general results that you have compiled just from your own math class. EXPLAIN WHY OR WHY NOT! SOME OF YOU MAY BE UNSURE. IF THIS IS THE CASE EXPLAIN WHY YOU ARE UNSURE.

5. Do you see any biases in your question? Have you made assumptions in your line of questioning. If so state where you think the bias might be.
