Full Project Description:
Timeline: The project officially begins on February 1, 2002. Each class will submit a lost tooth count once a month. The project will conclude on April 30, 2002.
Each class will be assigned to a group when they register. The teacher will send an email message introducing his/her class to their group. The number of classes in the group will depend on how many classes join the project but will probably be 8 or 9 classes. The teacher will begin keeping an official count of how many teeth are lost by the first graders in the class. By posting these numbers on a bulletin board in the class, the students can practice graphing skills daily. This data can also be used to do daily math problems involving teeth. Examples of problems will be shared among the teachers in the groups. Once a month, each teacher will send an email to the other group members stating the official number of lost teeth in their classroom for that month. Teachers can use this data to do comparisions. Examples are on the project website. Complete directions will be emailed to teachers when they register for the project.
