Response to Part 5

Response to Part 5 I created a survey, using Google Form, asking if families had several types of animals in their home. I then shared the survey by email. I sent the email to a different email address of mine that wasn't Gmail and was able to take the survey. I was able to take the survey as many times as I wanted. This didn't show the names. I need to investigate limiting responses to only let a person take the survey once. Under "summary" I got a graphic of pie charts with percentages showing what percent of those responding had dogs, cats, and so forth. I tried saving the results to my blog and had trouble. I got help and was able to do it using "send to" after I right clicked on the page. My blog wouldn't let me copy and paste it in. I can use these to create relevant problems. This will give students practice with percents, fractions, decimals, and statistics. They could make predictions and check them out to see how well they predicted. "If 34% of 15 people surveyed liked dogs, how many do you predict would like dogs in a population of 3500 people? Explain why you think this. What might be the problems with the survey?" I can definitely use this in math to survey students likes and dislikes, preferences, times available, and parent responses. Students could create their won survey and share it with the class. I can see my students enjoying this. It could be out of a class project where they bring the results to class or post it on line. They could have group discussions on their results.
