Wehavethedata on Instagram

This post isn't a specific lesson idea, but a resource that will delight your statsy brain. We Have The Data on Instagram  ( and elsewhere ) is an account that shares interesting data, data in a variety of formats and from a variety of sources about all sorts of topics. For example: This is anti-brain rot for your IG feed. I also think there are countless classroom examples embedded in the content they share, especially as this account shares specific data points that are data that don't feel like data (like the difference in what 10.2 million will get you in two different parts of the country). I think they could be used in class to get your students to think more like a statistician. Enjoy. 

My favorite example of ordinal data.

Sometimes, an example is so little that I forget to add it to my blog. Like this, my favorite way to review scales of measurement and ordinal data in particular.
