Text Count and Homework Minutes

Text Count and Homework Minutes

The Students will engage in counting Text minutes and Homework minutes. They will keep a journal to be kept over a four day period, Monday thru Thursday. The assignment can be done on Friday. The students will record the number of text messages received and sent out during the hours of 3:00-11:00. On the second journal the students will also record the number of minutes spent on homework between the hours of 3:00-11:00. They will compile this information into graphs on that 5th day Friday. With this data the students will be able to plot a scatter plot graph and learn how to recognize patterns on a scatter plot graph. Students will see the relevance of a correlation even if the graph is not linear or a straight line. Students will identify trends and articulate the reason for the trends.
