Step onto the quiz show stage in this high-energy digital game all about interpreting graphs and charts. Students will answer a series of multiple-choice questions to determine which type of graph best represents a particular data set. With rounds worth one, two, and three points, the challenge builds with each stage, along with the excitement!

Throughout the game, students will review different data scenarios and select the most suitable graph type to display the information. Graph types may include bar graphs, pie charts, line graphs, scatter plots, and histograms. By comparing the nature of the data and the purpose of the graph, students will build essential data literacy and reasoning skills. At the end, a surprise prize awaits the quiz champion!
