Answer the following questions:
- Do you agree with the first article’s conclusion about pie charts?
- How long did it take for you to catch the dishonesty going on in the pie chart shown in the second article?
- Find an example of a graph or a chart of data. Look at one or more websites that you read regularly or if you cannot think of an online example, feel free to instead attach a phone picture of a graph or chart from a magazine or any other sources.
- Share a link with us so that we can see your example.
- Share how well you think this graph or chart does in displaying the data it represents.
