Part 3 Choosing the Most Appropriate Graph for Your Data

So, should I use a bar graph? Students are often unsure of how to depict data in a manner that elucidates the trends and exposes any disruptions that need to be revealed. However, they often define the choices they make based on the graph type (pie, bar, line, scatterplot, histogram, etc.) rather than choosing how best to reveal the embedded stories in their collected data. In this 1.5 hr. workshop, we will focus on matching the best graph type with the data collected as a means of displaying what needs to said with transparency.

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.
