Description
Students will be assigned a city from a region in the Middle East, Southern and Eastern Asia, or Africa (7th Grade Georgia Social Studies) and will compile information to create a poster to present the data analysis of their city. I used this in conjunction with a Language Arts unit centered around the novel The Cay. Students compared their city's temperature to Willemstad, Curacao. Project includes box and whisker plots, measures of central tendency, double line graph. Students also investigate their city's biome, latitude and longitude, and interesting things to do in their city. Great interdisciplinary culminating task!

CCSS7.SP.B.3
Informally assess the degree of visual overlap of two numerical data distributions with similar variabilities, measuring the difference between the centers by expressing it as a multiple of a measure of variability. For example, the mean height of players on the basketball team is 10 cm greater than the mean height of players on the soccer team, about twice the variability (mean absolute deviation) on either team; on a dot plot, the separation between the two distributions of heights is noticeable.
CCSS7.SP.B.4
Use measures of center and measures of variability for numerical data from random samples to draw informal comparative inferences about two populations. For example, decide whether the words in a chapter of a seventh-grade science book are generally longer than the words in a chapter of a fourth-grade science book.
