Calculata ’ s Mission
Let ’ s dive deeper into decisive dental diagnostics by creating some handy infographics to accompany your tooth fairy speech .
The mission is to make some handy and accessible graphs or charts to communicate the statistics in the data sets below . What is the best type for each set of stats ? Will you pick bar charts , pie charts , scatter plots or line graphs ? Maybe you ’ ll choose to represent the information in a completely new and inventive way ! Perhaps you could make them into a funny picture . It ’ s totally up to you – just make sure the stats are super clear . Your tooth fairy colleagues are counting on you to get to the root of things ( root geddit , because teeth !). t No , you ’ re right . I should stick to maths .
