Project Description:
- Elementary Classes will be using pennies (or any coin) to collect and share data with other classes. Ever think about how many pennies are in circulation? How long they last? This will be a simple project, which can be expanded, or limited to fit your classroom. Classes will organize and count coins by date/mint. The data will be shared and each class gets experience graphing, looking at variability and central tendencies. Coins interest everyone and can be used to teach everything from probability to geography. Both large and small groups can participate.
