To support teachers in carrying out full data investigations with their students, we have created a set of investigation briefs. Each brief provides a deep dive into how you could carry out a data investigation from start to finish for each of the main types of data analysis common in grades 6-12 mathematics standards. The briefs use CODAP to support the investigation process and publicaly available census microdata that can be used in grades 6-12 classrooms. If you are not sure where to start we suggest using the data investigation pathways flowchart.
