Math+Research Project= (the blog below)

In1988, there were around 200,000 child soldiers in the world.http://homepages.wmich.edu/~acareywe/images/childsoldiers.jpg
Twelve years later, in 2000, there were around 300,000 child soldiers in the world, and seemingly the population has increased, and is probably increasing as we speak at the rate of 90,000 every 10 years or 9,000 every 1 year which is pretty insane. If the amount of child soldier keeps growing at this rate by 2011 the amount of child soldiers will be 480,000.

An equation to find the amount of child soldiers in a year is
9,000x + 300,000, x
being the number of years since 2000. If child soldiery still continues ten years from 2011 then there will be at least 570,000 child soldiers. The amount of child soldier there are now is pretty high. I hope it does not increase any higher than it is.
