Students’ interpretations of histograms: a review

Research output: Contribution to conferencePosterOther research output

Abstract

Students make several mistakes when interpreting graphs with statistical data even with seemingly simple graphs such as histograms, for example when comparing two graphs (Friel, Curcio, & Bright, 2001; Lem et al., 2013). This review is a first step in revealing possible causes of students’ difficulties with histograms.
