Collecting Data

In Math, we are studying "Data." This includes how to collect, interpret and analyze information. Click on the following survey about 3rd grade to let me know about your favorite and least favorite parts of third grade. There are only 5 questions. Be sure to answer each one! Next, we will look at the data and interpret it! (You may only take the survey ONCE)

Create your free online surveys with SurveyMonkey, the world's leading questionnaire tool.
