I don&#8217;t know about you, but these three days felt very full and fast. It feels like it could be May already. Maybe it&#8217;s because of this beautiful weather we are experiencing! Have you been going outside much? What seems challenging during this time is keeping on top of the new expectations. I find myself asking Google a lot of questions: Should I wear my mask out? Is it safe to order take-out? Is it okay to go for a bike ride? Can I use my elbow to press the sidewalk button? Can I lay on the field for some fresh air? Can dogs play together? The &#8220;rules&#8221; seem to change regularly since there is still so much to learn about the virus.<\/p>\n<p><em>Take a look at the line chart below<\/em><\/p>\n<p>It is no doubt that these are trying times and a widespread effort is key. However, our hard work in BC is paying off &#8212; we are beginning to flatten the curve! This means there is a general decrease in the number of new COVID-19 cases everyday. On the left, vertical side of the chart&#8211; called the <strong>Y-axis<\/strong>, it shows the number of active cases (though it doesn&#8217;t actually say in this chart, it assumes the viewer already knows &#8212; I think it is still important to indicate what the vertical numbers represent). The bottom, horizontal side &#8212; called the\u00a0<strong>X-axis, <\/strong>represents time in days. They indicate the days clearly from March 27-April 6.\u00a0 As you can see, BC (blue) has a straighter line than Quebec and Ontario. This means that there are fewer new cases of COVID-19 in BC everyday than there are in Ontario and Quebec. BC&#8217;s line is flatter.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbc.ca\/news\/canada\/british-columbia\/bc-ontario-quebec-covid-19-1.5524056\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-105\" src=\"http:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/daneshwands\/files\/2020\/04\/flatten-curve-300x152.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"152\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/daneshwands\/files\/2020\/04\/flatten-curve-300x152.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/daneshwands\/files\/2020\/04\/flatten-curve-scaled.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: CBC (April 6, 2020)<br \/>\n<em>Click photo for news article<\/em><\/p>\n<h2><strong>1.

Survey<\/h2>\n<p>There different ways to display information. Information is also called\u00a0<em><strong>data<\/strong><\/em><strong>.<\/strong> As we saw above, a line chart is one way to represent collected data. we have briefly practiced with surveying in class. Please create a survey and represent in the way you wish. Examples include a pie chart, pictograph, bar graph or tally chart. If you wish to challenge yourself, take a look at more complex ways of representing data (second picture). Ignore the description below the picture and title of each chart.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-106\" src=\"http:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/daneshwands\/files\/2020\/04\/kidscharts-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/daneshwands\/files\/2020\/04\/kidscharts-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/daneshwands\/files\/2020\/04\/kidscharts-300x400.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/daneshwands\/files\/2020\/04\/kidscharts.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i.pinimg.com\/originals\/55\/8e\/a3\/558ea39e5336d442a50f4ba502240ae3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-107\" src=\"http:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/daneshwands\/files\/2020\/04\/charts-154x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"154\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/daneshwands\/files\/2020\/04\/charts-154x300.jpg 154w, https:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/daneshwands\/files\/2020\/04\/charts-524x1024.jpg 524w, https:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/daneshwands\/files\/2020\/04\/charts-300x586.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/daneshwands\/files\/2020\/04\/charts-scaled.jpg 246w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 154px) 100vw, 154px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nClick image to enlarge<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.surveymonkey.com\/r\/BLJ68VV<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong>For this assignment:<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #339966;\">1.
