When Graphs Mislead Us
Source: Council for Economic Education (EconEdLink) | Type: Interactive Tool
Graphs and charts can easily be adjusted to reflect a specific viewpoint. This can lead to such visualizations sometimes telling only part of a story. Use this interactive to experiment with different chart constraints to see how they can skew your interpretation of the data. Refer to the Math in the Real World lesson When Graphs Mislead Us, for more information about using this interactive in your classroom.
