O.R.E.O. Project

Our Multiage Family will be participating in the online O.R.E.O. project throught the following website http://jenuinetech.com/ . The goal of the project is to estimate (predict), count, collect data, share, and compare information. Each student will estimate (guess, predict) how many Oreo's he or she can stack (without using support). After the student has estimated how many he/she can stack they will attempt to stack Oreo's as high as they can. Each student will have only two attempts. Students will create an individual graph, graphing the amount of Oreo's they were able to stack. After everyone has completed two attemps we will calculate the class average. Once we have completed our class average we will post our data online and compare to other participating classes from around the world! All final results will be posted after October 15th. When we venture into science and math we will estimate our outcome, collect data, create graphs (tally graph, bar graph) use, nonstandard measurement, share learned information online and will complete worksheets provided by the online project using cookie math problems. We SO look forward to our O.R.E.O. Project!! We will post our classroom results and pictures on this blog when the project is finished. You can also check out our posted results at http://www.jenuinetech.com/Projects/2008oreo/results.htm . When you get to the results page, scroll down to the bottom and click on the box containing the word "view".
