Using Sampling and Statistics to Get Rid of Trash | Cyberchase
Learn how the CyberSquad uses sampling and data analysis to help solve a city's trash problem in this interactive from WNET. In the accompanying classroom activity, students watch a series of video clips in which the CyberSquad works to get rid of a mountain of trash by reducing, reusing, and recycling. Students use sampling, multiplication, and fractions to help determine the amount of trash for each method of removal and then complete a sampling and data analysis activity of their own design. This resource is part of the Math at the Core: Middle School Collection.
