Working with statistics

Students who belong to Erasmus+ "Maths is around us" team have been working with a survey.

The survey is about students' feelings and opinions about math classes.

This entry shows what they have done before the mobility to Brasov

• They translated they survey into Spanish so that their  classmates can answer easily the questions.
• Since teachers have decided that the sample is 20% of students, we decided to do a stratified random sample (for class groups)
• We made a random selection (students learnt how to use the # key in their scientific calculators). For this selection they used the following data:

• GROUP	NUMBER STUDENTS	NUMBER STUDENTS IN SAMPLE
  4º A	17	3
  4ºB	26	5
  1ºBACH A	33	7
  1º BACH B	29	6
  2º BACH A	31	6
  2ºBACH B	31	6

• Once we have the sample,students answer the survey (we thanks to all maths teachers at our school)
• Finally we upload to a shared spreadsheet in our twinspace our results so that we can make a report and an inphografic in Brasov

These are the questions in English:

How many drops of water can fit in your bathtub?

Yesterday we calculated the number of drops of water in a bathtub.

First of all we decided that the mathematical modelfor a bathtub is a parallelepiped.

Students measured their bathtubs at home and the dimensions were 70x170x38 cm.

Then the volume is 452200 cubic centimetres

Finally, we decided to use a dropper and count how many drops were there in 1 cubic centimetre.

We went to Chemistry laboratory and count.

Our results were: 35, 25, 21, 20, 22, 23, 35, 30, 25, 36.

Calculating the mean, it was about 27.

So the number of drops was 12209400!!!!

Thanksgiving Day

Tomorrow is the fourth thursday of november, so it's celebrating Thanksgiving Day, a national holiday which is commemorating in different countries, such as America and Brasil
This is an important holiday which has started like a harvest blessing celebration, but nowadays it seems like they have forgotten this reason, because what they actually celebrate is a Christmas preview.
It's celebrate in different ways: what families normally do is getting together to have a traditional dinner where turkey is the main dish. Moreover, Macy's, a very big shops chain make a vey famous parade in Broadway's avenue. And the very important thing is that it's an important day because next day starts Christmas purchase season!!!
