Organizing Data

My students have heard that I rapped to some classes last semester so now they keep bugging me about rapping.  The problem is that I only have raps that I did for my Algebra 2 class and I'm teaching Statistics.  The only real solution was to make a new one; I wrote one last night and this is it:

When organizing data,
You need to choose the best
Out of all the different graphs
And just forget the rest.
If you look at the data,
And compare it to time.
All you need to do
Is use the graph with a line.
Percentages can help us
When we’re trying to choose.
Just use the circle graph;
And you won’t be confused.
The bar graph is the one
That you’ll use the most.
From Pareto charts to histograms,
You’ll see your fair dose.
If you just choose the right
Type of graph to use.
When the grade comes back
You won’t be singing the blues.

  1. cool rap,
    when you have working experiences,
    it is easy to get inspired and write one that makes sense.

    Have A Neat Weekend. :)
