I even like the age restrictions,since not everyone does the say thing. It's a good way to get things done in math with a different routine. Math can get a little boring.Wes Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06843846072759916757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16660456.post-63535543375173080022010-03-15T11:07:19.594-06:002010-03-15T11:07:19.594-06:00Hi Karl,

I really liked this survey that was inserted into your post. I noticed that it was part of Google Docs. I hadn't though of using a blog to collect data like this.<br />Thanks for the great idea!Derekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13037621927504258964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16660456.post-21746737769775261882010-03-06T15:52:32.144-07:002010-03-06T15:52:32.144-07:00@PNaugle - The age restrictions are purely to end ...@PNaugle - The age restrictions are purely to end up with a different number of responses to each question. The activity is trying to setup the discussion around how do you compare numbers when there are a different number of responses. So, if 50 people read a book and 62 ate at a fast-food restaurant, does that mean that more people ate at a fast-food restaurant? Not necessarily, if only 60 people answered the book question and 200 answered the fast food one. This leads them into talking about percents as a way to compare.<br /><br />A little contrived to get there, but still worthwhile I think.Karl Fischhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11121548023409279686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16660456.post-7051124252613091902010-03-06T15:07:10.659-07:002010-03-06T15:07:10.659-07:00Hi Karl,

I am interested in why she set age restrictions on some of her questions. I am also interested in hearing how she will use this survey in her math class.<br /><br />I tweeted out this link and wish her good luck with her survey.PLNauglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17589718884625860829noreply@blogger.com
