[LM_NET] TARGET: Books of Statistics for math projects

["Cousins, Liz" <lcousins@SHIPLEYSCHOOL.ORG>]

Collective Brain: I'm looking for titles of books or websites that list
uncommon statistics, specifically prices.  Our 7th graders do an
interdisciplinary "generations" project which requires them to find
prices of an item from their great-grandparents' time to the present and
then chart the prices.  Basic commodities are pretty easily available,
but where do you find 30+ years of bubble gum prices? If others are
interested, I will post the results.

 

Thanks, 

Liz
