 Great Resource for Teaching Business Math March 6, 2007

Great Graphs and Sensational Statistics really made our 6th Grade Business Math unit very fun and interesting. While charting commercials, dangling spoons, taking surveys, flipping coins and following the stock market...we learned all about how to present information in a form that others can understand.
This is very REAL math that my child can use throughout his life - whether he's a weatherman, scientist, or business administrator! We all need to learn how to present information clearly and effectively.
Oh, and some statistical work is in there - means, medians, conducting a study and charting statistical results...highly recommended!
