I have mentioned #SlowRevealGraphs before but it's worth mentioning again. It's a nice structure to get kids talking about Data Management topics. With this one from @JennaLaib we are looking at an infographic of wealth distribution in Toronto.

Made diagrams for teaching circle-trigonometry procedures. i.e. avoiding ratios altogether. Interested in whether this is a good idea, a ridiculous idea (maybe!), potential problems further down the line, etc.@jamestanton @malcoad @AshDolan6451 @LiEmers @samanthajmch pic.twitter.com/VMAPLh5kE5
