  3. Page 2 The Tasks Task #1: You are a DJ that must create 1 hour worth of music for a Math Dance. You will keep a running time of your songs. Task #2: You will find the measures of central tendencies of your data. In simple terms, the mean, median, mode, and range of your data. Task #3 You will present your findings through an oral presentation to the class. Explaining the math correlations. Brief biography of Artists. Distribute a hard copy of the completed DJ itinerary worksheet JUST FOR FUN!! Change the lyrics to a song of choice that will have a correlation to a math concept. Let’s Rock!

  4. Page 3 Task #1 Process You are the DJ. (hardcopy printout) *Your task is to create 1 hour of music for the Math Dance. *On the spreadsheet provided on the next page, list the song titles, artists, year recorded, genres, and time of each song. *Each song must have a correlation to mathematics, either in the title or the artist. (Check out myexamples) *No song may be over 7 minutes long. *You may not use more than 2 songs from each artist. * You must keep a running time of the songs. Example *To find help with locating songs, click here. http://www.allmusic.com/ Here is another option. Click here.http://www.billboard.com/ Do you have iTunes, use it! Great for artist information

  8. Page 7 Task #2 Process OK, now I have to get MEAN! (and median, mode, and range) Now that the music for the dance is complete, find themean, mode, median, and range for the years. Do the same steps for the times. Example Dr.Ufigure Don't know what these blue words mean? No problem, just click here! Dr. Ufigure will help you step by step.

That’s ok. Use the space provided to list the years. Remember 1st to last. The Median of the years is_________________. The Mode of the years is_______________. The Mean of the years is _______________. The Range of the years are __________________. Lets; do the same for the times. List the times short to long. Do you have to change them to seconds? The Median of the time is_________________. The Mode of the time is_______________. The Mean of the time is _______________. The Range of the time are __________________.
