What do you wonder? What’s going on in this graph? These three simple, open-ended questions are at the heart of “What’s Going On in This Graph?” — a weekly activity we’ve been running in collaboration with the American Statistical Association (A.S.A.) for the past six years. This feature invites students to analyze and interpret graphs previously published in The New York Times, first by noticing and wondering, then by creating a catchy headline to capture a graph’s main idea, and finally by considering what impact this data might have on them and their communities. Classrooms around the country, and around the world, participate regularly — either by joining our public forum where students post comments and interact with our teacher moderators, or by having in-person discussions in their own schools. They analyze graphs about sports figures like LeBron James, environmental trends like rising temperatures, economic activity like price inflation, and political realities like the ages of world leaders. This week [we published a new collection of 79 graphs](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRmpkgiP4QFAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMjMvMDcvMjYvbGVhcm5pbmcvb3Zlci03NS1uZXcteW9yay10aW1lcy1ncmFwaHMtZm9yLXN0dWRlbnRzLXRvLWFuYWx5emUuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01NSZlbWM9ZWRpdF9sbl8yMDIzMDcyOCZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD05ODY4MyZubD10aGUtbGVhcm5pbmctbmV0d29yayZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTQwNTI5JnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgpktiLDw2TPM3klUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAM~) pulled from the past three years of “What’s Going On in This Graph?” In September we’ll begin posting new graphs for the 2023-24 school year.
