Improving Data Displays Activity
In this activity, students will analyze a real data display and compare it to an alternative for clarity, insight, and usefulness. This should take 15–20 minutes to complete.
Time: <1 Class
Conceptualization and Operationalization Activity
In this activity, students will generate several conceptual definitions for real-world issues and compare them. They will also generate several operational ways to count real-world issues. This should take 20–40 minutes to complete.
Chapter 2 Quiz (Version A)
In this quiz, students will be tested on types of variables (categorical, ordinal), including hybrid data and indices. This should take 20–30 minutes to complete., In this quiz, students will be tested on types of variables (categorical, ordinal), including hybrid data and indices. This quiz also covers percentages, percent changes, and percentiles. This should take 20–30 minutes to complete.
Chapter 1 Quiz (Version B)
In this quiz, students will be tested on basic research design (conceptualization, operationalization) and basic principles of data collection (biases to avoid). This should take 20–30 minutes to complete.

Rolling Dice
In this demonstration, students can play around with rolling dice to see a sampling distribution at various sample size n. With CODAP files, download them to your computer, then open the local file in CODAP. This should take 15–30 minutes depending on how proficient your students are with CODAP.
R-squared explained
In this demonstration, students can play around with a regression line to see its residuals change. GeoGebra will automatically show the calculation of r-squared. This should take 10–15 minutes.
