Remixed Canvas

While beginning the process of remixing a canvas I was a bit concerned with what subject I was going to do.  In my mind I was set on finding a science canvas that I could relate to math, but when I came across “The Changing Ideologies of Race, Culture, and Demographics” I instantly thought about statistics and statistical analysis.  When I was familiarizing myself with this unit, I realized that so much information would be so useful while teaching statistics; specifically analyzing data and inferencing.  There are so many numbers and relationships that can be created with the topics of Race and Culture that I think it would be very interesting and beneficial for the students to learn about.  They can analyze trends of certain characteristics in an area throughout time that could even have significance in their life.  Race, Culture, and Demographics are all things that everyone can relate to yet they are so frequently misunderstood.  I think that this unit together would really educate students on such important topics and then analyzing them statistically to create even more importance and relevance.
