Math Benchmark Podcast #3

(Chapters 6, 7, and 8.)

Group Members:

Lexy Babcock

Goldie Robins

Jessica Maiorano

Gabby Santaniello


What Our Group Discussed:

We discussed chapters 6, 7, and 8.


How We Discussed It:

We went chronologically through chapters 6, 7, and 8. We brought up examples from the text and outside sources. We researched articles and presented and discussed them. We also discussed an article provided for us by Mr. Miles.


Any Points of Conflict/Disagreement In Discussion:

We've never really experienced conflict within our podcasts. We continue to explain ideas and examples to each other and talk out any misunderstandings of the reading.


Questions:

We didn't have questions for this one, we just needed to include an article that contains a misleading draft from each one of the group members. We also discussed an article provided by Mr. Miles.

Another good discussion. I really liked Gabby's article as it had several examples of misleading graphs (though the group focused on the one that did not appear misleading :-). Looking forward to your final podcast.
