Lesson IntroductionLesson Introduction

Students will walk into the room and see several ads placed around the room advertising different cell phones.

The question of the day will be posted on the boardStudents will write in their journals

about:How many cell phones they have owned?What kind is their current cell phone?How many cell phones do they have in their

family (the family they live with)?

Problem StatementProblem Statement

Today we are going to investigate what kinds of cell phones students own.

You will use this information and think about if you were a salesman what type of cell phone you think you should sell your classmates.

You want to make sure you will be able to sell enough phones so you can pay your bills.

If you were a cell phone salesman which cell phone would you choose to try and sell?

Computer IntegrationComputer Integration

Students will:Record the data collected in the

surveys into a spreadsheet Organize the data by the types of

cell phones students own and the number of students per group

The data will show how many of each cell phone students have.

Use formulas to calculate the mean, median, and mode of the types of cell phones students own

Before using the computerBefore using the computer

Each group will conduct a survey on which types of cell phones students own.

They will then record their data on the class data sheet to share with the class.

Results PresentationResults Presentation

Students will submit a proposal to research five different cell phones to advertise.

They will include in their proposal why they chose those five cell phones based on the results of their survey.

Any specific known websites will be listed in the proposal for research.
