Assignment 2 VLE - Investigating the mortality rates for the sinking of the Titanic

Task/Aim:
A wiki intended to provide a resource for mathematics and history teachers that they can use with their students to help them understand the correlation between the two subjects, as well as some helpful resources for teachers of VCE General mathematics and history to use with their students. To create spreadsheets and interpret bar graphs based on data from the sinking of the Titanic.

Rationale:
The purpose of the project is to give students an opportunity to use interactive tools to create and analyse graphs and make decisions about a real life scenario: mortality rates for the sinking of the Titanic. By representing data in the form of graphs and analysing the graphs, students can apply their knowledge to investigate the death rates and survival rates of males and females. Also, students can explore the death rates of adults and children during the sinking of the Titanic.

Description modification:
This project is divided into three tasks to make it easier for the teachers/students to follow.

Students will be using Google Docs to create spreadsheets and charts and using background information on the titanic to write a brief report on the sinking of the titanic including findings and graphs from the task to correlate both mathematics and history into this wiki project.
