Welcome and great to see you amazing people! Today in class we will spend time creating Population Pyramids and then, time permitting, we will begin working on making Infographics about the countries that we analyzed through our population pyramids. This should be an interesting romp through statistical analysis! Let's get down to business! Below you will find our agenda, homework, and resources for the day.
Objectives:
- Analyze demographic data to create Population Pyramids using individually assigned national data
