- 1. + Challenge Success Survey By: Tashi G.
- 2. + Introduction Last year, Graded middle school and other schools around the world completed a challenge success survey. This year, 6th grade math teacher Ms. J pulled out eight questions from the survey and had the sixth grade fill them out. I am a reporter who has studied these responses closely and have made the following article about what I found at Graded. Mode= Approximately 75%

- 11. + Misleading Graphs During my visit at Graded, I was invited to sit in at a teacher- administrator meeting and a class I saw the following graphs being used.
- 12. + Misleading Graphs (continued) Students made this graph to convince teachers to give them less homework. Their title is convincing, there is chart clutter and there is no zero baseline.
- 13. + Misleading Graphs (continued) I found this graph at a teacher-administrator meeting, being presented by a teacher showing how useful homework is to students. This is extremely misleading. Take a second to look at the intervals. They are uneven. The title is planting the seed in your mind that makes you believe that students find this much meaning in homework. And where is the zero baseline? (Next slide)
