In a similar sense, a poster may do the same. On closer inspection, however, aspects such as individual data labels and legends can be seen more clearly. The NCTM Standards for Curriculum and Evaluation in School Mathematics, released in 1989, present the vision that problem solving is tile main goal of mathematics instruction at all levels, and call for student involvement in statistical activities at all grade levels. They indicate that statistical thinking should start in the primary grades with the creation of student data from class activities and surveys on topics of student interest. In higher grades, the emphasis is on collecting, organizing, summarizing, and interpreting data from other school disciplines such as the physical or the social sciences, as well as outside interests of the students.
Graphical displays are exceptionally powerful tools for data presentation and for data analysis.
