In September 2015 we started another series of "Maths Is Everywhere!" activities with TASK 7 - MATHS IN SCHOOL RESEARCH.
This time students were asked to do research at school. They could choose the subjects of their surveys and composed the questionnaires. After that, they asked their classmates to complete the surveys and had to analise the results.
The final products include reports summarising the stages, results and analysis of the conducted research. You can watch photos depicting the results in the presentation below:
Also a group of students prepared their own summary of their class research:
