Grade Level: 9 - 12 Detail: Students in groups of 3 will research information about stocks and gold prices throughout the years in order to advise a company on how to make investments in this market. The students will present their research findings in a presentation using PowerPoint, posters, video (MovieMaker) or other ways (they have to check with the teachers for approval). Benefit of Technology: The Box and Whisker webquest allows the students to work on real life examples of how to use a box and whisker plot but also enhances their ability to find information online on their own. This gives them confidence and builds the critical thinking skills. Link(s): [|www.mathwebquest.wikispaces.com] Helpful Tips: Allow enough time for the students to research the information. Some students may not have computers at home. Also show the students how the webquest works and how are they supposed to use it. Submitted by: Maria Cioban School/Organization: Wayne Memorial H.S. **
