Section What’s Next?
Great progress! You now have strategies to help students move from organized data (Module 2) to meaningful analysis and simple models (Module 3). These analytical thinking skills are the bridge between collecting information and drawing conclusions.
Quick wins to try this week: Choose one analysis activity from your action plan and try the “Notice, Compare, Quantify, Extend” routine with your students!
In our next module, Interpreting Problems and Results, we’ll explore how to help students draw valid conclusions from their analysis, make evidence-based claims, and understand the limitations of what their data can tell them.
Remember: Data analysis skills develop through practice with increasingly complex datasets. Start with simple patterns and build toward more sophisticated analysis as students gain confidence and skill.
