13. Debbie Utz, teacher at Minors Lane Elementary in Jefferson County, suggests that teachers develop age-appropriate math activities for planned cemetery visits. Some possibilities: Figure the ages of the people based on the marker dates. Find individuals who were born or who were living during the Civil War. Figure the average age of death for the monuments in a particular section. Estimate the numbers of markers in a particular section by multiplying number of rows by markers in row. Find the oldest and youngest individual buried in a section. Find the oldest and most recent marker. (Elementary)
