Birthdays

In this activity, students will enter their birthday and look at a distribution of birthdays across the school in order to determine if a particular day or month has more births. After looking at the small sample, students will explore data from the entire US. Recommended pacing: limit to screens 1-3, then only 4, then 5-6, then 1-7, then turn off.
