Show and Tell! Great Graphs and Smart Charts

Young children need to know about data and statistics. Not the data of Wall Street or the statistics of the world, but information about their own lives and the things that interest them. Displays of data can become part of their language, part of how they can better understand things and communicate with others. When presented in creative infographics, these displays bring that information to life. This session will feature simple bar graphs, pictographs, pie charts and line graphs, and include step-by-step instructions for collecting and organizing data, creating graphs and charts, and transforming them into dynamic infographics. Kids will have fun as they use math to show and tell their very own stories.
