As you are designing your project, keep in mind the Grade 7 Statistic and Probability standards from the Common Core (follow the link on the class website to find those standards). Your project obviously does not need to address every Grade 7 standard, but it should be aligned to at least one, and you should indicate in your write-up which standard or standards you are addressing. Have fun!
