Whos Trending on Twitter?

The results are in from our survey. Each class period reported which historical figure they
would follow on Twitter. Now, I need your help to organize this information so that we can
get a better glimpse of who would have the most followers. Use the data below and follow
the directions.

1. Use the organizer below to represent each piece of data as a fraction, decimal, and a
percent. When finding your decimal, round to the nearest ten thousandth (psst this
means you need to know what digit is in the hundred thousandths place in order to round).
Show all of your work on a separate piece of paper and organize it so I can look through it
without going cross-eyed! Also, be sure to have your fractions simplified! Finally, write
what each percentage is when rounded to the nearest whole number.

2. Organize the values from least to greatest and write beneath each value the initials of the
corresponding person. For example, beneath every decimal, fraction and percent you write,
you should write a set of initials.

3. On this page, create a pie chart which represents your findings. Label the pieces of your
pie chart with the rounded percentages from your table. This chart should not be a
sketch! Use tools around the room to make your chart as accurate and precise as possible.
