A Data Processing Lesson for Statistics -- Reading a Table or Chart
Students identify the structure and key parts of tables and charts. They determine which data is meanjngful and make comparisons with the data. They describe the scope of the AIDS plague throughout the world.
Curated OER
What on Earth is Greater Than?
Students compare things that are greater than, less than, or equal to, compare the Earth to other planets, and list planets from greatest size to smallest size.
