Data from Home Math Project - Distance Learning About Social Distancing

***ALL PROCEEDS THAT I RECEIVE FROM THIS PROJECT WILL BE DONATED TO CHARITIES SUPPORTING STUDENTS AND FAMILIES IN NEED DURING THE COVID-19 CRISIS!***

In this unprecedented time, mathematics and distance learning has the potential to provide understanding, humanity, and community as we all work to understand our experiences. In this project, students choose something about their experience while home from school to track over a period of 15 days. Students share their data in a class google sheet, and make regular reflections about their own and fellow students' findings. Students follow instructions to graph their data with Desmos and reflect on what they have found. At each step along the way, students receive and respond to feedback from their teacher and gain approval to keep working. This creates a collaborative experience that can help draw you and your students together while you're learning apart. The final project presentation is a Google Slides report and a Hangout / Zoom conference to present!

This project includes:

- Introduction linking the project to relevant standards / practices

- Thorough checklist to ensure all parts have been completed

- Detailed rubric for each part, linked to a relevant standard, with Expanding / Proficient / Developing / Beginning levels for each criteria.

- Detailed instructions for students to complete each part.

- A Google Sheet template to use as a class spreadsheet for viewing and commenting on each other's data.

- Regular space reserved for teacher feedback and approval to move to the next step!

Also works wonderfully as a project for currently homeschooling parents to complete with their students as a way to engage with math away from school!
