Partner Project due on 12-9-2002
This is a research project related to population density and involving scientific notation. This project may be done either independently or with one (1) partner.
- List the ten largest countries in the world by population
- List the area of the country
- List the population density
- List the numbers in standard notation and in scientific notation
- List your sources using standard bibliographic form (Check with your core teachers and/or the library)
- Here are some starting points: [Populations]
- Neatness and presentation count. (use this format)

1. .................OBJECTIVE: #To use geometric scaling to estimate population counts #To apply proportional reasoning to situations in which capture-tag-recapture methods are appropriate for estimating population counts #To use ratios and scaling up or down(finding equivalent ratios) to find the missing value in a proportion #To use rates to describe population and traffic density (space per person or car) ACTIVITIES: Review discuss problem 5.1.
