Abstract
Transforming the teaching of data
Is your experience of teaching data less
than exciting? Do you think there is more
to teaching data than making bar charts of
children’s favourite colours? And pictograms
of modes of transport to school?
Surely trend graphs can be used for reasons
other than illustrating monthly rainfall?
In this article we outline the latest exciting
trends in teaching data handling.
