Students’ interpretations of histograms: a review

Research output: Contribution to conference › Poster › Other 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.
