 * Time Management Using Data Analysis **

GLE 0706.5.1 Collect, organize, and analyze both single- and two-variable data. GLE 0706.5.3 Formulate questions and design studies to collect data about a characteristic shared by two populations, or different characteristics within one population. SPI 0706.5.2 Select suitable graph types (such as bar graphs, histograms, line graphs, circle graphs, box-and-whisker plots, and stem-and-leaf plots) and use them to create accurate representations of given data. GLE 0706.5.4 Use descriptive statistics to summarize and compare data. SPI 0706.5.3 Calculate and interpret the mean, median, upper-quartile, lower-quartile, and interquartile range of a set of data. GLE 0706.5.1 Collect, organize, and analyze both single- and two-variable data. GLE 0706.5.4 Use descriptive statistics to summarize and compare data. SPI 0706.5.1 Interpret and employ various graphs and charts to represent data.
 * __Math Standards__**

Objectives: TSW find the mean, median, mode, and range of a data set. TSW display and analyze data in bar, line, and circle graphs.
 * __Technology Standards__**
 * **1.** || **Creativity and Innovation** ||
 * || Students demonstrate creative thinking, construct knowledge, and develop innovative products and processes using technology. Students: ||
 * a. || apply existing knowledge to generate new ideas, products, or processes. ||  ||   ||
 * b. || create original works as a means of personal or group expression. ||
 * c. || use models and simulations to explore complex systems and issues. ||
 * d. || identify trends and forecast possibilities. ||  ||
 * **3.** || **Research and Information Fluency** ||
 * || Students apply digital tools to gather, evaluate, and use information. Students: ||
 * a. || plan strategies to guide inquiry. ||  ||   ||
 * b. || locate, organize, analyze, evaluate, synthesize, and ethically use information from a variety of sources and media. ||
 * c. || evaluate and select information sources and digital tools based on the appropriateness to specific tasks. ||
 * d. || process data and report results. ||  ||

Procedure: For one week (5 days), students are required to track their daily activities. They will  keep a tally of their activities each day, computing the amount of time spent (in minutes or hours – student’s choice) on each activity.
