#9 Go Figure Maps, Charts, and Graphs pt 1/2

#9 Go Figure Maps, Charts, and Graphs pt 1/2

The purpose of Go Figure? is to help students review for the mathematics section of the Grades 5-7 Ohio Academic Achievement Tests. The topics covered by the project address critical objectives found in the tests, but more importantly, they address those items that are frequently missed by students.
Chris and Carter find a map with a note saying "The room located at E3 will be the containment room." Why would a school need a containment room? What does it have to do with the missing students? They search for the room and find 1966 newspaper stories about increased "sightings" and dropping water levels at the nearby reservoir. Pythagleo shares other statistics about Etna High in 1966.
