CODAP (Common Online Data Analysis Platform): CODAP can be used across the curriculum to help students summarize, visualize, and interpret data, advancing their skills to use data as evidence to support a claim. Students can load their own data into an easy-to-use web-based data analysis tool to create their own datasets, share visualizations, and discover data-driven insights. In the process, they will learn to understand the world through its data. https://codap.concord.org/for-educators/

Slow Reveal Graphs: Slow Reveal Graphs (#slowrevealgraph) are an instructional routine that promotes sensemaking about data. This highly engaging routine uses scaffolded visuals and discourse to help students (in K-12 and beyond) make sense of data. As more and more of the graph is revealed, students refine their interpretation and construct meaning, often in surprising ways. https://slowrevealgraphs.com/
