SUMMARY:Learning to See the World Through Data
DESCRIPTION:In a data-driven world\, we need to provide opportunities for students to build critical skills and processes to learn about their world through data—and NC is responding! The revised NC K-12 Mathematics Standards include a stronger emphasis on building critical data and chance skills and understandings. In the session\, examples will be shared for how to bring rich data experiences into your K-12 math classrooms to get your students “doing data.” Get ready to be immersed with real world data and learn about resources for teaching with data. Together we will learn more about how \nto immerse our students in opportunities to see their world through data.

Why are we so gullible? We will examine many newspaper articles\, facebook entries\, and common myths that go viral to see how data is manipulated and misrepresented.
