Here Birdy, Birdy Project Update

Our project kindergartners have gathered some excellent data over their bird feeders and have started to see some common trends between stations.  It seems that brown birds are the most popular at every team station.  Here are the stats so far: We've had 373 birds visit our feeders in the fall months.  That sure is a lot of birds!  Brown has definitely been the most popular visitor, but now that we're in winter, the gray and black birds are showing up more often.

Who are the teams?

How long will the project run?

We'll launch the project on the first day of Autumn, and end on the first day of Spring.  Even if you can't start on Sept 21, we'd still be interested in working with you.

• Understand numbers, ways of representing numbers, relationships among numbers, and number systems
• Compute fluently and make reasonable estimates
• Use mathematical models to represent and understand quantitative relationships
• Understand measurable attributes of objects and the units, systems, and processes of measurement
• Apply appropriate techniques, tools, and formulas to determine measurements.
• Formulate questions that can be addressed with data and collect, organize, and display relevant data to answer them
• Select and use appropriate statistical methods to analyze data
