Fancy fridayWe have been working with a math topic, descriptive statistic in school, and learned about some terms as relative and absolute frequency. We have also taken some pictures together with our math teacher Disa Jensen. It's a very fun but sad day, because Disa was such a great teacher, and she knows how to encourage young and wild students like us. Today we had dress code. The girls came in their beautiful dresses and the boys came in a shirt and blazer. We hope you are all having a good time back home and soon will enjoy your summer vacation.

The three most prominent types of cancer for women in Denmark
The 3 most prominent types of cancer for women in Denmark are: Breast-cancer, lung-cancer and colorectum-cancer. 28 % of all women in Denmark, who are diagnosed with cancer, suffer from breast-cancer. Luckily, breast-cancer has a mortality rate of 16,1 %, which means that most women with lung-cancer survive.
12,1 % of all women with cancer are diagnosed with lung-cancer. The mortality rate for lung-cancer is significantly higher than the mortality rate for breast-cancer, with 23,9 % of all women with lung-cancer dying from it.
12,6 % of women with cancer are diagnosed with colorectum-cancer. Colorectum-cancer haslow a mortality rate of 13,3 %.

Denmark - Turkey cancer studies
We have in our math class been entertained by studies from Globocan, an international agency for research on cancer based on World Health Organization’s facts. The three most common types of cancer in Turkey among women are breast, colorectum and stomach. In Denmark the three most common types of cancer among women are breast, lung and colorectum. The number of breast cancer incidents in Denmark is over three times larger than the number in Turkey.
