Data Management #3

It was interesting to observe that most students chose to represent the data using a broken-line graph.

Big Idea: Line graphs are better suited at showing changes over a period of time (Continuous data)
whereas bar graphs are better at comparing things between different groups or categories (discrete data)

Data Management #2

Student's first collaborative task to manage the data given.

After examining and discussing our observations about each group's poster in our Math Congress, we looked at the same data set represented by a computer-generated  double bar graph. Students had to state what was absent from the graph.

We also discussed the difference between a bar graph and a histogram as well as the components of a bar graph
