Title: Histogram Sorting Using Cooperative Learning
Url: https://serc.carleton.edu/sp/cause/gallerywalk/examples/14043.html
Creator: Garfield, Joan
Roseth, Cary J.
Publisher: Carleton College (Northfield, Minn.)
Description: This activity has two major goals: (1) to give students experience with a variety of histograms of data, and (2) to help them better recognize different shapes and characteristics. Too often students only see one or two perfect examples (e.g., normal, right skewed) and have a difficult time describing and classifying histograms of real data. This activity also helps students determine which characteristics can appear together (e.g., skewed and bimodal) and which cannot be used together to describe a distribution (e.g., skewed and symmetric). This activity may be used to help students better understand the relationship between descriptions of data sets and the graphs that could be created from these data sets.
