There is a Difference: Histograms vs. Bar Graphs
Using data from the internet, students summarize information about party affiliation and ages at inauguration of Presidents of the United States in frequency tables and graphs. This leads to a discussion about categorical data (party affiliations) vs. numerical data (inauguration ages) and histograms vs bar graphs.
This is an appropriate way to hook your students into a discussion about the presidential election. The use of the internet is also necessary to get the latest most accurate information.
