Building The Numeracy Skills Of Undergraduate And Elementary Students

This paper will describe a project designed to enhance the numeracy skills of students at two educational levels - elementary and undergraduate. Under the guidance of the university students, students in grades four through six will formulate a research question, gather the appropriate data and summarize the data using graphs. The graphs along with a written summary of the project will be displayed in a poster, which will be sent to the national poster competition sponsored by the American Statistical Association.
