HELP! I need real data for a project with students.

teachski · Feb 23, 2008, 11:41 AM

Hi, I teach 8th grade Math. My students are working on Data analysis and I would like some REAL data for them to work with. Since they know one of my main interests outside of school is skiing I thought it would be neat to use some ski data. I'd like to collect it in the following manner:

1. Number of pair of skis owned
2. Number of snowboards owned
3. Number of pair of ski boots owned
4. Number of pair of snowboard boots owned
5. Brands of skis owned
6. brands of snowboards owned
7. lengths of skis owned
8. Lengths of snowboards owned
9. brands of ski boots owned
10. brands of snowboard boots owned
11. Age (optional)

Here is what my data would look like:
1. 4
2. 0
3. 3
4. 0
5. Volkl, Head, Rossignol, Volant
6. NA
7. 161cm, 170cm, 177cm, 195cm
8. NA
9. Lange, Solomon, Solomon
10. NA
11. 47

Thank you!
Lauie

When you're asking "owned" do you mean currently or over the lifetime of the sport?

teachski · Feb 23, 2008, 11:51 AM

Currently owned only please!

Stuff that you could use today if you chose to.

BTW- I just noticed I spelled my own name wrong, it is Laurie, not Lauie
