Day 1: Define the problem: Write a clear explanation about what anxiety is on google slides. Then use that explanation to create your own survey of questions you want to ask students about anxiety.

Day 2 and 3: Gather evidence: from other students in the school or even at home. Share your google form with others to get your responses.

Day 4: Collect the evidence that you have gathered and create a table/graph showing your results.

Day 5: Identify the causes: Based on the information you collected, list some possible causes of anxiety.

Day 6: Evaluating the Existing Policy:

Day 7: Develop a Solution: Discuss with your partner(s) some possible solutions for the problem and explain how your solution may help other students.

Solve one- and two-step "how many more" and "how many less" problems using information presented in scaled bar graphs. For example, draw a bar graph in which each square in the bar graph might represent 5 pets.
