School Census Requirements
The grade 8 math class has been tasked the important job of taking and doing statistical analysis of the entire school and then creating a bulletin board display of the results.
You will be in charge of two or three of the census questions plus the one that you have already been given (sex, new/returning student, grade). Your job is to make the poster of your results bold, beautiful and BIG.
Requirements:
All graphs need to have ALL appropriate titles, labels and legends
A written explanation of why each of the three main graphs have the MOST appropriate graph. Each explanation should compare this graph with the other graphs you could have used. This is a very big part of the mark! Please hand this separately from the bulletin board.
One of the graphs needs to be a double-bar, double-pictograph or double-circle representing male and female differences.
One of the graphs should look at the differences between grades.
*Note, as you can see from all the things above, there will probably be from 6 to 15 graphs, so use your space and imagination wisely. Please put as much effort into this project as this assignment replaces a planned test.
Good luck

You will be in charge of two or three of the census questions plus the one that you have already been given (sex, new/returning student, grade). Your job is to make the poster of your results bold, beautiful and BIG.
Requirements:
- For each question you will have one large main and one small graph created by a computer program like excel. The main and small graph need to represent the data in different ways, with the main way being the better way of representing the data.
- For each of the main graphs, you will need to have three different types of graphs. For example, you may have a circle, bar and picto-graph. However, you may not have two circle graphs, and one bar.
- A title, that covers 1/5 the size of your board.
- You must have one "infographic" that best represents one of your data pieces. This infographic must not be the one for countries. This infographic will be digital and put onto the school wiki.
- You must do a visually appealing infographic for your poster on countries. This same infographic will also be handed in digitally so I may put it up on the school wiki.
