As I showed in the PowerPoint, there were two parts to this project.  Our school is 1-1, so every student has a Chromebook.  The students created and submitted their drawings on the Haiku discussion boards and responded to each other’s drawings.  This allowed them to see the projects of students from all of my math classes and to leave positive feedback on each other’s murals.  Throughout the project, the students used these Haiku discussion boards as a way to communicate with students, while preparing for their final draft.

Each student completed an individual project.  Based upon these projects, each table group voted on their favorite mural at their table.  The students were given two strips of paper and had to measure and cut the paper to be exactly 5 feet by 5 feet.  Each group received their post-it notes and began to create their post-it murals.

See the post-it murals below!  Click HERE for the Rough Draft Project and click HERE for the Final Draft Project.

In this project, the students will poll a minimum of 25 people, organize the data based upon fractions, decimals, and percents, create a hypothesis, and organize the data and their findings in a poster and one-page summary.  My students are almost finished with this project, so I am looking forward to seeing the results!

Below you will find some pictures to the project.  You can download the project HERE.
