Title: Star Library: Histogram Sorting
Url: https://www.causeweb.org/cause/archive/repository/StarLibrary/activiti...
Creator: Garfield, Joan
Publisher: University of Minnesota
Description: Created by Joan Garfield of the University of Minnesota, this activity provides students with 24 histograms representing distributions with differing shapes and characteristics. By sorting the histograms into piles that seem to go together, and by describing those piles, students develop awareness of the different versions of particular shapes (e.g., different types of skewed distributions, or different types of normal distributions), that not all histograms are easy to classify, that there is a difference between models (normal, uniform) and characteristics (skewness, symmetry, etc.). Key words: Histogram, shape, normal, uniform, skewed, symmetric, bimodal
