My PLC created a graphing project as a PBA for our data unit. Student groups (2-3) had to collect numerical data based on their own question, and then create a frequency table, histogram, stem and leaf plot, and a line plot. They also had to calculate mean, median, mode, and range for the their data and write a paragraph that summarized their findings. Advanced classes also had to create a box and whisker plot. I told my students that they could bring in their own internet capable device for their project and gave them a website http://nces.ed.gov/nceskids/createagraph/default.aspx that they could use to make their histogram using the bar graph template. I had a few groups in each class take advantage of this option. I am attaching pictures.
