Gold standard, again!

FYI, the order of the lessons is:

dot-plots
variabiltiy
measures-of-center
histograms-visualize
histograms-interpret

as you know, I've already received and incorporated one round feedback on dot-plots and measures-of-center.

@retabak I am noticing that you aren't including and @lesson-point. Are there any key ideas that you want to emphasize?

[joystraub]

I love the butts out of seats activity!! Also, the charts serve as wonderful reminders of the shapes and connections between histograms and boxplots as you continue working - they get left up on the wall. Rotating around the room is fun and they don't expect it the first time - it catches them off-guard when they have to think of a scenario for someone else's histo. I prefer the charts.

I just rolled mine up and stored them until got to boxplots - then I brought them back out. I had multiple classes - so I ended up leaving one or so of each shape type out after a few days and got rid of the rest. It was not too much. I shared a room with another teacher, too - it worked.

To answer the question - it is pretty powerful to help make the connection between histograms and boxplots. I hit it hard that they need both of these to tell the full data story - so having them both with a story drives that home.
