Pie Graphs and Sexism

Our Concept Based Unit in Fourth grade had been on justice. We studied a variety of subtopics such as bullying, poverty, racism, child labor and sexism. Concurrently we are doing a unit on analyzing data, Analyze This!, for our advanced math curriculum. The two units merged in our assignment on surveying and pie graphs. The students created a 10 question survey on sexism and administered it to various students and teachers. Next we used Excel to create pie graphs. We analyzed each question and then wrote a summary. Here is Carley's summary:

I think that sexism is still a problem. People still can't help to make a joke about it. I think that sexism is not funny. People still make generalizations about things that men/women like and dislike. Everyday someone faces sexism with comments like, "But you're a girl." or "You like ponies? You're a boy." Sexism is a rude body of speech. Don't be sexist. It is very rude and hurtful. Love the genders the same.
