Checkpoint 121. CODAP Exploration Challenge.

To practice your CODAP skills, try this challenge:
  1. Open the "Mammals" example document in CODAP
  2. Create at least three different visualizations of the data (e.g., scatter plot, box plot, dot plot)
  3. Create a calculated attribute that represents the brain weight as a percentage of body weight
  4. Use the ruler tool to divide mammals into categories based on the new brain-to-body ratio
  5. Create a dashboard that includes your visualizations, the data table, and a text object explaining what you’ve found
  6. Save your CODAP document
This challenge will help you practice many of the skills described in this guide while exploring an interesting dataset.
