A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of co-planning with Jim Schilk. (He is a fantastic special education teacher at Council Rock High School South in Bucks County, PA.) Our time together was spend improving his unit plan entitled "Graphic and Statistical Analysis." As we planned, he shared a fantastic resource with me: USA Today Snapshots. This site provides a daily graphical representation of a topic that is popular in the news. Many of the graphs are relevant and interesting to students. I think it would be a great "warm up" for math classes each day! Thank you Jim!
