Math-infused Science: Choosing the Most Appropriate Graph

(Tu June 9, 4-5:30 pm EDT)

Students aren’t the only ones who struggle to determine the best way to display data in graphic form. Because there are usually many representations that can be used, and each may encourage the reader to make slightly different conclusions, deciding on the most appropriate graph can be tricky. In this workshop, participants will create a decision-making diagram that can be recreated or shared with their students as a guide to help them through this process.

Although the examples in this workshop will be based in math and science, this 1.5-hour workshop is open to teachers of all grade levels and subject areas. As is the case in all CLC workshops, participants will experience this technique firsthand and then collaborate to create an application of this teaching practice to cover their content, skills, and learning objectives.
