Synopsis
This unit seeks to shed light on the importance of immigration and how it affects the well-being of students between the ages of 5-18. Through activities in mathematics such as categorization and data representation, students will have a more in-depth understanding of what immigration is and how important a social issue it is, particularly in our city of Charlotte. In addition, students will learn and discuss categories and engage in data representation with a human graph. Students will also apply what they know about data by drawing representations of categories and plotting themselves in a graph to show immigration representation from various countries such as Honduras, El Salvador and Mexico.
