High School Math Teacher
Students also noticed that the medals for China were smaller than for the other countries. This deliberate design change made it seem like the number of medals was much closer.
The idea that statistics can be used dishonestly is nothing new. It is important to understand this, but my hope with teaching Applied Statistics is that students would be more than skeptics of data. That they would not only question, but apply what they learn and be open to being surprised.

So we spent a day looking at artist Chris Jordan who uses photography to bring attention to the environmental impact of mass consumption, listening to rapper Mos Def whose lyrics often tackle social issues, and searching for unique data visualizations. Why were these statistics more powerful? How did they create empathy?
Through exploration, peer and teacher feedback, students created unique art pieces that presented statistics. A song about addiction. A gif about the environmental cost of phones, an installation on fast fashion and a number of pieces about mental health. Looking at the art created reminded me of the power in giving voice to the students. Their work taught me more about the students I work with and the broader world. I hope you enjoy seeing just a few of those created works, and that they move you as they did me.
