A cross-curricular resource that takes the electoral votes and allows your learners to organize and analyze the data. Young voters can determine which states are more influential and interpret the dotplot provided for more data. Calculators can be optional to find the exact mean and compare to the median and mode. Make the lesson more challenging by requiring your learners to create their own graphs.
