I'm in charge of teaching math this module for the 5th grade team and I want to create a lesson that helps the students identify misleading graphs, what about them makes them misleading, and how to fix them. So, please offer all of your 5th-grade-friendly misleading graphs for me to use in the lesson!

Advice Writing a report on a dataset, decided to start off by showing all data points by themselves like this. Too basic? Too squeezed to take up a third of a PDF page? Roast the hell out of this

Advice Is this ugly or not? It looked very weird to me at first glance, but on the second I can't quite specify it. The values are relatively close so it make sense the put only 6,9 to 8,1 and .10 to .050 there, it's properly labeled... But the actual links seem kinda weird? Are they correct?

Advice The idea is interesting, how to better execute?

The idea of mapping the parts of the brain to the parts of body they control is interesting. The execution does an ok job of showing how many more nerves are dedicated to the face and hands then to the rest of the body--but not in a super intuitive way.

Would it be possible to do something simjlar but really well-executed?

Advice Between 2013-21, 304 people died from leukemia—blood cancer—in suburban Houston. This was 212% higher than the leukemia death rate in the rest of TX, and indicates a severe cancer cluster. Nearby is a Superfund site contaminated with toxic waste. "Residents say they swam and fished near and on top"

Advice Labeling 10k sentences manually vs letting the model pick the useful ones šŸ˜‚ (uni project on smarter text labeling)

Hey everyone, I’m doing a university research project on making text labeling less painful.
Instead of labeling everything, we’re testing anĀ Active Learning strategyĀ that picks the most useful items next.
I’d love to askĀ 5 quick questionsĀ from anyone who has labeled or managed datasets:
– What makes labeling worth it?
– What slows you down?
– What’s a big ā€œdon’t doā€?
– Any dataset/privacy rules you’ve faced?
– How much can you label per week without burning out?

Totally academic, no tools or sales. Just trying to reflect real labeling experiences

(Attachment to google added because i needed to attach a file to make this post) Hello Everyone! I am looking for a specific graph I saw years ago, to use for a statistics class. I remembered it emphasized Correlation is NOT Causation. The data I remember that was involved was something about Nicholas Cage and amount of people drowning that year. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

Advice Y'all seemed to love it so I spent another 30 minutes on it just for you. It's ugly because the data isn't weighted in any way nor are differences in the actual metrics shown, just ranked

Advice Measuring the difference between literal children and young adults, then presenting the *difference* in a weird bar chart, where a bigger number means less trust? Also, K-12, aged 12-18? That's not what K-12 means.
