Math questions
In addition to the report, please think of at least 5 math questions that use your bird’s statistical data, and solve them. The questions should be typed and submitted with the rest of your report (include them after the glossary). The answers can be submitted on looseleaf.

The final report is due at the beginning of class on Tuesday, May 12. We will have class time on Thursday and Friday to work on it, but might need to be finished over the weekend.
