This one is for the math teachers out there. Have your students analyze both pie charts to see how activities on the internet have changed over the past year:

Questions:

• Compare activities on the internet for 2018 and 2019 Be sure that the year over year comparisons you are analyzing have the same units. 
  • Which activities grew the most on a percentage basis? 
  • Which activities grew the least on a percentage basis?  
• Make your predictions for 2020 for each of the activities.

Develop your students' analytical capabilities using NGPF's Data Crunch resource. 

We used the 2019 information in a recent QoD. 

About the Author

Tim Ranzetta

Tim's saving habits started at seven when a neighbor with a broken hip gave him a dog walking job. Her recovery, which took almost a year, resulted in Tim getting to know the bank tellers quite well (and accumulating a savings account balance of over $300!). His recent entrepreneurial adventures have included driving a shredding truck, analyzing executive compensation packages for Fortune 500 companies and helping families make better college financing decisions. After volunteering in 2010 to create and teach a personal finance program at Eastside College Prep in East Palo Alto, Tim saw firsthand the impact of an engaging and activity-based curriculum, which inspired him to start a new non-profit, Next Gen Personal Finance.
