YouCubed has lots of interesting resources, and they also have an entire data science curriculum. You can look at the whole curriculum or explore individual activities.
There are lots of examples of slow reveal graphs on this website. You can scroll through the graphs or search by tag, which can be either the topic, theme, or type of graph. Each graph has a slide deck that walks you through the graph and gives guiding questions.
What’s Going on in this Graph?
Every week, the New York Times publishes an interesting graph without any context. Students are encouraged to analyze the graph and draw conclusions/submit questions and comments on the website. At the end of the week, they share an analysis of the graph and link to the article from which the graph was taken.
RadicalMath empowers educators to address issues of social and racial justice in math classrooms. RM is a hub for curriculum, resources, and professional development opportunities.
