Elidania Santana: This is a bar graph showing the percent of bullying by race. This information is based on a national survey of children. This graph breaks down bullying by race; sometimes or usually/always are the 2 categories shown. Non-Hispanic Blacks have the highest rate of bullied or who were cruel during the past month by 18.1 percent.

Angelys Liriano: This graph is a very interesting graph because it is showing how bulling is increasing. Which is bad thing because it shows how different race act cruel to other children. Non-Hispanic White has the lowest rate of bulling with an 10.8 percent.

This is an example of a post. As stated on the syllabus, you are expected to make a post by W 2/11 explaining how mathematics relates to your career (include photo of yourself with some aspect of mathematics and/or your career in the background).

Polytopes have a long history, going back at least to the Greeks who discovered the 5 regular 3-dimensional polyhedron: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platonic_solid

Towards the end of the semester, we will have time to explore some of these geometric figures.
