Activity on shape: drew the shapes after a short view of the graph (using ppt) compared with partner what you drew considered what key things looking for did the kids description without looking at the graph
 * ends - missed the middle
 * middle - missed the ends
 * peaks and valleys
 * skew - the tail to the left or right
 * squashed up or stretched out
 * most ( of the data is located) near the middle and a bit to the right (scatter to the right, less data to the right)
 * even spread across the range (rectangular block, slightly taller in the middle - slightly more data in the middle than to the sides), more even
 * big hump early and a tail on the right (the data is concentrated in the lower values with a hump(peak/spike) and there is less to the tail on the right, the higher values)
 * looks like a camel's double hump (two peaks, maybe two different groups in the same set, bimodal)
 * skinny mound on the right and a long low hill on the left (most of the data is concentrated in the higher values but there are a few lower values)
 * a skinny hill, tall and thin, (lots of data concentrated in a small middle range)
 * a number of peaks, with most of the data in the middle
 * a hump on the left, not very even (not smooth), not particularly symmetrical and the hump is to the left
 * major peak on the left and a smaller peak to the right
