UPDATED RESOURCE SHOWN BELOW POST
This new IWB resource is an update of one of the most used resources on this site. The spinnable IWB clock. Things that were liked about this resource were its rotate the bevel to show the time advancing, giving it a spin to pick a random time and uncluttered display. Things that were not liked were how the hands advanced past midday and the lack of assistance graphics. Hopefully all of these have been put right.

The clock is still controlled by the bevel. One full rotation equates to one full hour. In addition the clock can be toggled between locking to 5 minute intervals or not vie the button with a 5 on it. If this is active the minutes can be toggled to be shown at the end of the minute hand. Minutes can also be toggled to display on the clock face as can the coloured segmented display.

In addition this resource is identical to the new version of the Numeracy Basics clock which is available as an app on the iPad. The IWB version will remain free to use. If you have an iPad you may find it useful to be able to do whole class teaching from the whiteboard and then provide individual assistance by using the exact same resource on your iPad. Using it on an iPad may also better suite small group work in rooms where there is no IWB facility.

Note: Flash Player 11 is needed on your PC to run this IWB resource. Older computers may struggle.

Go to clock IWB resource.

UPDATE:

This resource has been updated with new graphics and, as well as being available in an app, also works on all devices in its free web-based form here:

This interactive whiteboard resource is the result of a suggestion in the comments on the Number Line IWB resource. The suggestion was to adapt the number line to allow it to be used to show elapsed time. The result is this interactive whiteboard resource.

There are 2 clocks that have draggable fingers to set a 'from' and 'to' time. The number line shows whole hours and 15 minute intervals. You can annotate directly to this using the built in annotation and your notes will scroll with the number line. Using these tools you can demonstrate how to use a number line to calculate how much time there is between 2 given times.

Like the Number Line resource the interface for this resource uses physics to allow you to use inertia to scroll along the number line by dragging on the bottom bar. It is hoped that this method is more natural for use on the IWB (but it is not so conducive to mouse control). Unlike the Number Line resource this number line does not bounce at the end of the scroll. Comments on the interface or further suggestions for development are welcome.

This resource is based on real experiments in the 1930s by Karl Zener who designed the cards used (now known as Zener Cards). The purpose is to test for clairvoyance. There are 5 different types of card and 5 of each design giving a deck of 25.

Students are shown the back of a card and are asked to choose what they think the card is. The resource keeps a tally and presents a frequency at the end. The frequency is only given at the end to emulate the normal use of tally charts. As a point of interest the order of the deck in this resource is predetermined before the first card is shown, allowing the potential for real precognition!

This interactive whiteboard resource is useful for demonstrating the volume of cubes and cuboids.

It is a variant on this isometric interactive whiteboard resource. Suggested in one of the comments was to add some more shapes to teach volume. So that resource has been reworked to suit teaching volume. There are number of different cube and cuboid shapes that can be exploded into their constituent single unit cubes. As there is no need to be restricted to an isometric perspective for volume, clicking and dragging anywhere on the screen will rotate the shape. New shapes can be selected using the arrows at the bottom.

Note that as with all of the resources that use 3d this may slow down your computer.

This interactive whiteboard resource is useful for introducing children to the concept of having the answer but not one of the numbers in the question. An addition is shown with an answer but not one of the numbers being added. The "20" button generates questions with an answer below 20. The "100" button generates numbers with an answer below 100.

There are two modes that can be toggles to control how this works. The mode is selected by using the options card which can be toggled on by tapping the turquoise triangle at the upper left of the screen. Interactive answers can be turned on or off.

Interactive answers off: Just the addition is shown with the missing number covered by a "?". Tap help to provide a hint to the question using inverse operations. Tap the question mark to reveal. This mode is useful for quick question and answer sessions.

Interactive answers on: The question mark cannot be removed. A set of answer numbers appear which can be dragged to the "Answer Here" box appear. Once the answer is given the tick/cross button can be pushed to check the answer. Stars appear down the right of the screen. Each pair of stars correspond to 1 question. One star is filled in for an answer for numbers below 20. Two stars are filled in for answers to a question below 100. Use these to try and get ten answers correct in a row.

The hidden number can be toggled between left and right using the toggle on the option card. The next question generated will have the card in the new place.

This resource was originally designed to be part of the Numeracy Basics app but I decided that its use is to specific for that app which is a general set of tools rather than focused activities. This may appear on another app of resources so if you have any suggestions for that or for this IWB version please leave a comment or let me know on twitter @teacherled.

This interactive whiteboard resource is designed to facilitate number work and place value with a class. It works primarily as an aid to questioning when comparing the effect of change a digit in a place and comparing number sizes. You may also find other ways to use it.

The resource was originally suggested on twitter by @gepocock. She originally asked for it to use dice to allow numbers to be randomly generated for hundreds tens and units. I changed this to flip charts as dice are a little impractical to manipulate when represented digitally. Furthermore a six sided dice doesn't have enough numbers and a ten sided dice can be confusing to read. Hopefully the end result allows the same use.

Generate a new digit by tapping the page on each flip chart. Flip charts can be rearranged by dragging them from the red top of the chart. They can be placed on any empty peg. The place value headings can be toggled using the top "x" button. The flip charts and pegs on the bottom can be toggled on or off by using the bottom "x" button.

This resource is a candidate to be added to the Numeracy Basics app for the iPad for its next update. You can comment on its functionality either in the comments below or on twitter @teacherled.

Shapes All Around Me | Everyday Learning

This video from KET helps preschool students identify the shapes that surround them every day so that they can begin building a foundation for skills they will need in the future. Children often view shapes as play things like blocks and other toys. But being able to identify basic shapes and how they relate to each other is the foundation for understanding more complex geometrical and problem solving concepts.

This resource is part of the KET Everyday Math for Preschoolers collection.

The Count On Races game, played by an adult and a child, helps children learn to count on mentally. A coin or a dice with 1 or 2 on each face is used. Children say the next number when counting on. For example, when starting from 7, for a jump of 2 we say '8,9'.

The Cube Model (4-6) and Cube Model Advanced (4-6) tasks, children recreate the models. This task develops visual-spatial skills and helps children to recognise two parts within the whole.

The Reasoning in Addition Puzzles get children thinking deeply about the value of different shapes. This Mathsbot link allows you to generate new reasoning in addition puzzles.

Area and Perimeter

What can you say about these two shapes?

What is the area of each one? What is the perimeter of each one?

What can you say about the shapes below?

Can you draw a shape in which the area is numerically equal to its perimeter? And another?
Can you draw a shape in which the perimeter is numerically twice the area?
Can you draw a shape in which the area is numerically twice the perimeter?
Can you make the area of your shape go up but the perimeter go down?
Can you make the perimeter of your shape go up but the area go down?

Can you draw some shapes that have the same area but different perimeters?
Can you draw some shapes that have the same perimeter but different areas?

Why do this problem?

This problem offers opportunities for children to consolidate their understanding of area and perimeter. The exploratory nature of the task means that learners will be grappling with the two concepts at the same time rather than tackling them independently which might usually be the case. The activity is likely to require persistence and a 'tinkering' or trial and improvement approach.

Possible approach

It is essential to have squared paper available (preferably $1$ cm squared) and the shapes printed out and cut into eight separate cards. These cards can be downloaded here in black and white, and here with a coloured background. It might also be helpful to have post-it notes so that pupils could attach details of area and perimeter onto each card, rather than continually having to re-calculate them.

You could start with the whole group looking at the two shapes given at the beginning of the problem and invite learners to talk about anything they notice. (These are also two of the shapes given on the set of cards.) If area and/or perimeter doesn't come up naturally, you could ask direct questions to shift their attention to these concepts.

Pairs could then explore the shapes on the remaining cards and you can challenge them with the specific questions given in the problem itself. Copies of the task and questions for printing out can be downloaded here. It is important that you stress we are looking at numerically equal values. The area and perimeter cannot be equal because they are measured in different units.

When you gather the whole group together again, invite them to share not just solutions (i.e. shapes that fit the criteria), but their methods for creating the shapes. Did they establish any 'principles' that helped them? What actions could they perform on a shape without changing its perimeter? For example, what happens to the area and perimeter if you take a 'corner square' off a shape? What happens if you take an 'edge square' off a shape? What happens if you take a 'middle square' out of a shape? It may be that some children notice that for a given perimeter, a square gives the maximum possible area.

Key questions

How will you find out the perimeter?

How will you find out the area?

Tell me about that shape.

It might help to use squared paper to try out your idea.

How could you make the area of that shape bigger/smaller? How will that affect its perimeter?

How could you make the perimeter of that shape bigger/smaller? How will that affect its area?

Possible extension

Learners might like to have a go at the Pebbles investigation which makes a good follow-up to this challenge.

Possible support

The problems Sizing Them Up and Wallpaper might be useful starting points for those children who are struggling with the concept of area.

The memories I have of school math are of 'mad minute' quizzes for every operation, struggling to understand large numbers, and doing everything in my power to hide, destroy, and avoid the worksheets I was given. I am far from the only one with these memories. My experience with math as something to be memorized robbed me of the opportunity to develop understanding.

Two Clocks

This problem could be worked on in a group of about four. For more details about how you might go about doing this, please read the Teachers' Notes.

Sam and Julie are friends. Both of them have rather odd clocks at home.
In Sam's bedroom there is an old alarm clock which his Dad had thrown out because it had lost its minute hand. Although it has only its small hand, Sam can still tell the time using it. He can tell the hour, such as midday. He can tell when it is time to get up, time to go to school and time to turn his light out at night.

Which clock is showing it is midday?
At what time does Sam get up?
At what time does Sam go to school?
At what time is Sam supposed to turn out his light?

In Julie's hall there is a very old clock which lost its hour hand a long time ago.

School finishes at half past three and it takes Julie at least half an hour to get home. Sometimes she goes to the shop on the way, and sometimes she leaves school a bit later. When she first gets home Julie always looks at the clock in the hall to see what time it is.
One week these were the times she saw:

On which day was it raining so she hurried straight home?

On which day did she go to the shop to buy some sweets on the way home?

On which day did she stay at school to practise in the band?

On which day did she play with Sam for about half an hour before setting off for home?

On which day did her teacher keep the class in for five minutes?

Why do this problem?

This problem can help children understand that the analogue clock is really two scales superimposed on each other. This is what makes it so difficult for children to read. Focusing on the hands separately will help children understand what each one indicates. The novel context of this problem could provide a good assessment opportunity.

The problem lends itself to collaborative working, both for children who are inexperienced at working in a group and children who are used to working in this way. By working together on this problem, the task is shared and therefore becomes more manageable than if working alone.

Many NRICH tasks have been designed with group work in mind. Here we have gathered together a collection of short articles that outline the merits of collaborative work, together with examples of teachers' classroom practice.

Possible approach

Before tackling this problem, children will need experience of reading analogue clocks. It would be helpful to have a large demonstration clock available to use with them and of course referring to a 'real' clock on the wall of the classroom might also be useful. Alternatively (or as well), you could make use of an interactive version on your whiteboard.

Ask the children to work in pairs on the first part of the problem so that they are able to talk through their ideas with a partner. This sheet contains two copies of the four clock faces. Once they have had chance to solve it, bring the group back together and allow them to explain how they reached their conclusions. You might expect quite sophisticated reasoning from some children, which also indicates some understanding of why the hand is at the point it is between two digits. You can always demonstrate the movement of the hands using a real or virtual clock.

The combination of 'real-life' reasoning and telling the time makes the second part of the problem quite a challenge. So, ask two pairs to join together to make groups of four. Allocating these clear roles ( Word, pdf) can help the group to work in a purposeful way - success on this task could be measured by how effectively the group members work together as well as by their final solution. This version of the roles has been adapted for primary children.

Introduce the four group roles to the class. It may be appropriate, if this is the first time the class has worked in this way, to allocate particular roles to particular children. If the class works in roles over a series of lessons, it is desirable to make sure everyone experiences each role over time.

For suggestions of team-building maths tasks for use with classes unfamiliar with group work, take a look at this article and the accompanying resources.

Give each group of four this sheet, which summarises the second part of the problem. You could also give them these twelve cards, five of which have the clock faces on them and five of which give the information about each day of the week. Challenge them to work on the task in their groups so that they can match the clock face with the day. Explain that you will expect them to report back at the end of the session and at that point you will be looking out for good explanations of how they went about the task. Give each group a large sheet of paper on which to record notes for feeding back, including any questions that they may have as a result of having had a go at the task.

There are many ways that groups can report back. Here are just a few suggestions:

Every group is given a couple of minutes to report back to the whole class. Learners can seek clarification and ask questions. After each presentation, children are invited to offer positive feedback. Finally, pupils can suggest how the group could have improved their work on the task.

Everyone's posters are put on display at the front of the room, but only a couple of groups are selected to report back to the whole class. Feedback and suggestions can be given in the same way as above. Additionally, children from the groups which don't present can be invited to share at the end anything they did differently.

Two children from each group move to join an adjacent group. The two "hosts" explain their findings to the two "visitors". The "visitors" act as critical friends, requiring clear mathematical explanations and justifications. The "visitors" then comment on anything they did differently in their own group.

You may find that there is not agreement on the 'final' solution. The important thing is that each group can justify its reasoning. This may lead to a consensus amongst the whole class, but it may not.

Key questions

If your focus is effective group work, this list of skills may be helpful ( Word, pdf). Ask learners to identify which skills they demonstrated, and which skills they need to develop further; or ask them to identify someone else in the group who demonstrated a particular skill.

If your focus is mathematical, these prompts might be useful:

What does that hand tell you?

What time could the clock be showing? How do you know?

Roughly, what could the time be on Monday/Tuesday etc?

Which three clocks show minute hands five minutes apart?

How might that help you to decide which days they were?

Possible extension

Those who already tell the time efficiently could write the time when various activities take place at school on both one-handed clocks.

Possible support

Some children find telling the time with analogue clocks extremely difficult. A (one-handed) model clock would be very useful at this point.

This feature makes the visualization highly informative and relevant to current events, allowing users to track potentially hazardous asteroids and see their projected paths over time.

2 Selfiecity - The Science of Selfies

Selfiecity is an innovative and engaging data visualization project exploring the selfies world. It uses a variety of visualizations to analyze selfies from five cities around the world.

They collected over 120,000 selfies from the five cities and selected nearly 1,000 photos from each town. After collecting the images, they analyzed various metrics such as demographics, poses, moods and features.

The project then revealed exciting insights into the culture and social behavior of the people who take selfies. For example, the project shows that women take more selfies than men and that people tend to take selfies in public places rather than private spaces.

The study was quite complex and yielded valuable insights, which presented a challenge when it came to sharing the results. However, the team did an excellent job creating visually appealing data visualizations to present the information.

3 The Ancient Seven Wonders of the World

The civil engineering feats of humankind have reached the highest peaks of the mountains and deep into the ocean, and we have built pyramids, temples and statues that are still standing today.

The seven wonders of the ancient world are a collection of man-made structures that are considered to be remarkable feats at the time they were built.

Pranav Gavali, a Data Scientist, created this graphic using data from Encyclopedia Britannica and Wikipedia to visualize the world's seven ancient wonders along with their features and modern-day locations.

The graphic perfectly illustrates how the seven wonders were built and why they are considered a wonder of the world. The Great Pyramid of Giza is the only one of the seven wonders that still stands today.

4 The World's Population at 8 Billion

On November 15, 2022, the world's population reached 8 billion. This is the first time in history that there have been this many people on Earth. And there can't be a more straightforward and visually appealing way to present this data than this visualization.

What makes this big data visualization stand out is its simplicity and effectiveness in conveying the message. Using a circle to represent the earth is a powerful symbol that makes the visualization easy to understand and remember.

By using colors to represent continents and lines to separate countries, the visualization effectively conveys the complexity of the world's population in a simple and visually appealing way.

5 The Top 10 Largest Nuclear Explosions

This is a prime example of how creative design can bring data to life. It uses a unique approach, similar to an infographic, to showcase the impact and size of the largest nuclear explosions ever detonated.

It features a series of explosion image examples that help visualize each explosion's scale and impact. The use of images effectively conveys the destructive power of each blast in a way that is easy to understand and remember.

The data is presented clearly and concisely, with each explosion listed along with its country of origin.

6 Visualizing the History of Pandemics

This is an informative graphic named Visualizing the History of Pandemics by Nicholas LePan. It tells the story of all the known pandemics in the history of mankind, including the name of the disease, death toll and the approximate date the pandemic occurred.

While the exact number of victims of every disease is still under question, we can still learn from this graphic that super-spreading infections happened across all history of mankind. Statistical data of this infographic shows some diseases scaling with the growth of the population.

Striking 3D illustrations of diseases are combined with the research data from CDC, WHO, BBC, Wikipedia, Historical records, Encyclopedia Britannica and John Hopkins University. The illustrations scale according to the recorded death toll to allow scanning and recognizing data easily.

7 It Fell From the Sky

Created by a UK-based designer, this infographic highlights beautiful data visualization of 34,000 meteorites that have fallen on the Earth. You will discover the map and timeline of the impacts per year, wrapped up in clean, stylish graphics. The visualization also shows spikes on the records and comparing the size of the biggest meteorites recorded.

Meteorites hit almost all of Earth's surface, but some areas seem untouched; this phenomenon could be connected with Earth's magnetic fields. And who knows - the future may bring us even more meteorites to explore!

If you're a fan of space and astronomy, you can learn more about meteorites from NASA website or check out this of the Meteoritical Society. You can use our data visualization tool to create new stunning visualizations on meteorites and space - here for free.

8 Mars Mission 2024 Promo Reel

Vivid, rich in details. This 3D graphic uses beautiful data visualizations to share the vision of the future. Space missions and sending people into space are shown in an eye-catching red-grey palette.

The complicated animation of terrain exploration, space module flight and surface graphics are breathtaking. For a moment, you feel like a Mars mission crew member with your eyes on the stars.

9 Void of the Memories

These mesmerizing circles were brought to you by one of the best-in-class street art and calligraphy authors, Pokras Lampas. Whether you would like to decipher this canvas or refer to it as a pure visual object, the unique gothic Calligrafuturism style is an eye magnet for anyone.

The project is focused on the human consciousness and the theme of dreams in the context of human memory and experience. According to the author, the future is for global unity and harmony of cultures - and it's visible in the fusion of styles, techniques and systems used in the project graphics.

10 Plastic Waste Pollution

Based on data on the distribution of total plastic waste generation by continent, Jamie Kettle created this personal project to estimate the percentage of the plastic waste that was inadequately disposed of.

The infographic provides a clear and precise picture on current surface plastic mass by ocean, measuring it in a creative way. We can see plastic waste management for every country in a colored bar chart. The names of the countries that report 100% of all their plastic waste handled properly are highlighted in bold.

One of the major findings here is that the GDP of the country and efficient plastic waste management aren't always correlated - you can see it by irregular patterns shown in the infographic.

If you are curious about plastic waste, here are some resources for you: a on plastic waste, detailed info on the plastic waste pollution from the UN Environment Program and Impacts of Mismanaged Trash by the United States Environmental Protection Agency.

11 Fossil Fuels

This profound and complex visualization tells us about one of the most pressing environmental issues - the increasing amount of carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere.

While CO 2 buildup is responsible for climate change, the trend is projected to continue, and the infographic provides insight into when this could happen. It's easy to notice a steady increase in fossil fuel emissions since the Industrial Revolution and the projected sharp rise in the concentration of carbon dioxide until 2100.

12 Price of a Pandemic: Poverty Spreads Around the Globe

In this classic data visualization by National Geographic, data is placed against the dark background for better contrast and readability. Simple, comprehensive charts show us the effect of the pandemic on the income of people in various countries.

The authors distributed three levels of income range for countries with low and middle class income to provide a clear picture of the current situation. Core findings of the report were that the pandemic pushed a tremendous amount of people to extreme poverty - projected data is 100 million of people living on $1.90 per person/day.

Based on the World Bank data, the infographic provides a wide view of the exact factors influencing people's wellbeing - from travel restrictions and job loss to wars, displacements and higher food costs. Highlights at the beginning reveal rapid shrinking of income in examined countries across all continents on a mass scale.

13 Water Consumption

Hidden food production costs involve a great amount of freshwater. This stunning example of visualization created by Chesca Kirkland unfolds a story of water consumption required to produce certain kinds of food.

From chocolate to cheese, coffee and beer, every product requires a certain amount of freshwater to grow or be produced. The second part of the infographic is centered on the water resources available, including the map of the water footprint per capita per year and general availability of clean water to people.

Nominated for two C-Change Environmental and Sustainability Awards, the project won First Class Honours in Final Design Futures. Raising awareness about water sustainability is vital as we move forward to a more intelligent, AI-driven future.

We at Visme are inviting you to take up the challenge and create informative infographics that can invite change to various industry branches. Use our amazing free infographic library to create graphics for your personal projects as well as corporate or brand presentations.

14 Icebergs and Climate Change

Dedicated to "travel adventures" of this 4,200-square-kilometer iceberg, this infographic alerts people to climate change. A giant chunk of ice the length of Puerto Rico broke off the Antarctic peninsula coast to wander into the wild - and dangerously close to the South Georgia Island, packed with wildlife.

The graphic compares the size of the berg with 66 countries or territories, and cites that the ice mass is so large that it cannot be captured in one photograph. Besides, we can also see impressive geodata on the wildlife from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species inhabiting the endangered South Georgia Island.

15 Cell Towers Map of the World

This stunning, elegant and creative visualization of 40 million cell towers is surely an unforgettable view. Based on OpenCelliD, the world's largest open database of cell towers, this interactive map is so far one of the most precise publicly available data sources for telecom-related projects.

We can see how the cell tower network lights up Europe and other big cities of the world; simultaneously, vast areas of "wilderness" are still present on the map. Harsh climate and low population density in the northern regions of Russia and Canada, along with central areas of Africa and Mongolia result in low quantity of cell towers in these areas.

Closeup view of this cell tower map resembles the brain structure. Similar to the neurons, axons and dendrites that create the communication network of the human body - cell towers keep humanity connected.

16 Active Satellites in Space

Created for Scientific American, this colorful and bright data visualization displays satellites in an original way. Neat and stylish satellite cluster grids sort them by country, orbit and class - business/commercial, civil, amateur/academic or defense.

The graphic details the mass of the satellites (100 kgs - 5,000 kgs), category (Test and Training, Communications, Images, Surveillance and Meteorology, Navigation and Research) and the launch date, from Nov 1974 till Aug 2020.

According to the graphic, six countries of the world control the largest amount of the satellites in orbit, and the US owns the largest share so far.

17 Covid Vaccination Tracker

Updated daily, this animated Covid vaccination tracker shows the percentage of people in the world given at least one dose. The infographic and data illustration displays data on the vaccination rollout plan in over 80 countries and 50 US states.

Data presented in this data visualization is sourced from the Our World in Data project at the University of Oxford. Uncluttered, simple graphs show the 7-day Covid vaccination rolling average as well. Interactive charts allow you to sort the percent of population given at least one dose by country or income.

At the bottom of the page we can see the detailed, in-depth Covid-19 vaccination statistics, with type of vaccines offered (Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, Sinopharm, CanSino, Oxford-AstraZeneca, Johnson & Johnson, Covishield, Sputnik V, etc.) and vaccination priority groups for various countries separately.

18 Blindsight

It took 4 years to create this non-commercial self-funded project. Based on the eponymous sci-fi novel by Peter Watts, this visualization row includes breathtaking renders of the solar system, four-dimensional objects as a system of data visualization and manipulation, spacesuit interface renders, cryo capsule graphics and nonhuman species concepts.

The visualization received over a dozen awards and nominations such as Best VFX Screen Power Film Festival 2020, Outstanding Achievement Award (Sci-fi Short) Indie Short Fest LA 2020, Winner Best Sound & Music Fantasy/Sci-fi film Festival 2021, Award Winner Flickfair 2020, Official selection Miami International Sci-fi Film Festival 2021 and so on.

Space mysteries have always tempted mankind. With the outstanding talent of the team behind the project, we hope to enjoy the related movie one day.

20 Map of the Lighthouses of Ireland

Updated my map of the lighthouses of Ireland from the #30DayMapChallenge - now with the correct timings/flash patterns etc. Thanks to @IrishLights for providing additional information pic.twitter.com/eLlicP8fw5

- Neil Southall (@neilcfd1) December 8, 2020

This great animation was created as a part of 30 Day Map Challenge and it depicts all lighthouses in Ireland according to their timing and flash patterns. Here, the author visualizes data from the IrishLights - the maritime organization delivering the safety service around the coast of Ireland.

Aside from being a vital part of the water safety of coastal waterways, lighthouses are a symbol of hope and undying light even through the toughest circumstances. That's one of the reasons why this minimalistic graphic is so appealing.

21 Together [Hierarchical Positions of Employees in a Corporation]

Good data visualizations are essential for conveying complex information in an easily understandable way. Look at this creative way of displaying the hierarchical organization structure in a large corporation with a presence in over 100 countries. This creative data visualization example looks fun and a bit otherworldly, with muffled but contrasting colors.

Linking C-level executives to their subordinates in every branch revealed an intricate and complex corporation structure. It's suggested that in most cases, flat patterns would fail to represent company structures correctly because of the flexibility of human relations.

22 The Search for Dark Matter

The search for the ever elusive and intriguing dark matter continues. The problem isn't likely to get solved any time soon - but here is a striking infographic for you to follow the lead.

Quanta Magazine created this interesting data visualization to represent the types of particles that dark matter could be made of. Axions, WIMPs, ultralight dark matter or primordial black holes - any of these could be a star candidate.

Distributing every particle type along the scale according to their mass, the visualization also provides clear, concise descriptions for every type. Additionally, you can dive into the experiments' data. Are you the one to solve the new puzzle in particle physics?

23 2020 Autonomous Vehicle Technology Report

Concise and lean, this comprehensive report draws focus to autonomous vehicle technology and provides an insight into the hardware & software market for self-driving vehicles.

The report starts from the visualization explaining levels of autonomous vehicle capabilities in context of the environment. We learn that the greatest challenge for Google (Waymo), Uber and other companies building self-driving vehicles is to enable the vehicle to adjust to all driving scenarios.

Sensory technology is an essential part of autonomous vehicles, and they're designed to build an environment map and localize themselves inside that map at the same time. This requires huge computational technologies - maps created by AI systems and humans are of great help here.

Further in the report, we see the visualization of the electromagnetic spectrum and its usage for perception sensors, graphics of the time-of-flight (ToF) principle of environment sensing and various object detection sensor types such as radars, cameras, LIDARs, MEMS, etc. The next visualization covers different sets of sensors used for autonomy by Tesla, Volvo-Uber and Waymo.

Short, clean-cut schemes of the AI architecture of autonomous vehicles, the computation/decision making environment of an autonomous vehicle and the concept of vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication complete the report.

24 The U.S. Election Twitter Network Graph Tool

These cutting edge visuals from the U.S. Election Twitter Network Graph Tool enables a viewer to analyze social media interactions that define the online political landscape. In this case, we're tracking the influence and connections between various political figures.

It's clearly visible which accounts the target account is most likely to mention or reply to. The network graphs clearly show the potential of certain accounts to generate new connections and influence their followers.

You can search for specific nodes in the interactive map. All information flow between nodes is reflected in the color of the node edges. Working together with other open-source investigation tools, this graph is meant to increase transparency and help fight misinformation in social networks.

25 Map of a Fly Brain

The high-resolution nervous system map represented in the above graphic is a part of the fruit-fly's brain - yet the complexity and harmony of the structure is astounding.

Millions of connections between 25,000 neurons create a wiring diagram, or connectome, of connections in various parts of a fruit fly's brain.

It's estimated that tracking all neuron connections in the fruit fly's brain manually would need 250 people working for 20 years at least. Google's computational power has helped to speed up this research, and scientists are aiming to create a full fruit fly brain visualization by 2022.

26 Freight Rail Works

Our next interesting visualization highlights the advanced layers of technology Freight Rail Works uses across its infrastructure. Talented Danil Krivoruchko & Aggressive/Loop teams produced a futuristic and dynamic animation of the data-world around a train in motion.

Magnificent waves of data light up outlines of the objects and then vanish in waves as the train moves forward to the smart city. Graphics of the giant city cluster zoom out to reveal the continent routes and the beauty of a simple railway communications network.

In the era of semi-autonomous aircrafts and drones, the simple, down-to-earth railway system looks stable but innovative in this graphic.

27 The Korean Clusters

Korean hospitals and churches experienced a burst of Covid infections among their visitors in January 2020. Having linked connections between the confirmed cases, scientists were able to trace back the first case and build a tree of contacts between the affected people.

Tracking the timeline of the first patient's actions revealed that this person caused thousands of infections. Wandering sick for a few days resulted in over 30 more people infected. Subsequently, the Shincheonji Church cluster with 5,016 infected people accounted for at least 60% of all cases in South Korea at that time.

28 2020's Biggest Tech Mergers and Acquisitions

Despite the fact that for most businesses 2020 was a devastating year with grim outcomes, this data visualization shows that Big Tech experienced a growth boost. It's not surprising that people working remotely increasingly need digital services of all kinds.

The graphic shows the biggest tech mergers and acquisitions closed in 2020, together with the short description of the acquired company, acquiring company, deal amount and deal date. While the chart is visually busy, it's also innovative and visually appealing.

29 Stolen Paintings

This wonderful visualization was created for Visual Data, a column on "La Lettura," the cultural supplement of "Corriere Della Sera."

Since 1900 to present day, the infographic reveals the details of 40 stolen paintings. Neutral, minimalistic visuals highlight the painting's artist, the year when the painting was created and the year of theft.

It was shocking to find out that the majority of thefts took place during the last 20 years (2000-2020) - and most of the art works have never been recovered.

30 House Of Cards LIDAR

House of Cards from Brendan Dawes on Vimeo.

Take a look at the last cool data visualization in this list - the rework of Radiohead's House of Cards video. This astonishing art was created on the basis of around one minute of the LIDAR data.

Motion graphics of particles scattered around a person's face create an unforgettable image. The hero of the story in the video is clearly emotional - but we can't tell anymore whether this person is even human.

AI generated data can be beautiful, but how can you take control?

Data presented in these displays is based on the 'reporting year' of the crash to police.
Road User data
In some displays the Road User values, 'Other Controller' (e.g. horse riders) and 'Other Passenger' (e.g. train or light rail passenger) have been suppressed. However, the Grand Total will include these values.
Pedal cycle crashes
There are two means for which pedal cycle crashes are identified and included in our crash database. The first is where pedal cycle crashes are reported to NSW Police. The injury severity of the pedal cyclists involved is determined by the regular linkage of these records with NSW Ministry of Health data collections. A pedal cyclist record linked to a hospital stay is classified as a 'matched serious injury'. Many pedal cyclists admitted to a hospital are for various reasons unable to be linked to a police report. This second process of identification results in a cohort of seriously injured pedal cyclists classified as 'unmatched serious injuries'. Interactive crash statistic displays that only use matched serious injuries will therefore under report the extent of road trauma involving pedal cyclists.

World Population:

reached 8 billion on November 15, 2022 according to the latest United Nations estimates.

is projected to reach 9 billion in 2037, and 10 billion in 2058.

has doubled in 40 years from 1959 (3 billion) to 1999 (6 billion).

is currently (2023) growing at a rate of around 0.88% per year, adding around 70 million people per year to the total.

growth rate reached its peak in the late 1960s, when it was at 2.09%.

growth rate is currently declining and is projected to continue to decline in the coming years (reaching below 0.50% by 2048, reach 0 in 2086, and decline by -0.11% in 2100) .

a tremendous change occurred with the industrial revolution: whereas it had taken all of human history up to the year 1800 for world population to reach 1 billion, the second billion was achieved in only 130 years (1930), the third billion in 30 years (1960), the fourth billion in 15 years (1974), the fifth billion in 13 years (1987), the sixth billion in 11 years (1998), the seventh billion and eighth billion in 12 years each (2010 and 2022).

Country of the Week

With its 722,254 people, Equatorial Guinea is the 164th largest country in the world by population. It is the 144th largest country in the world by area with 28,051 square kilometers.

Equatorial Guinea gained independence in 1968 after 190 years of Spanish rule. This tiny country, composed of a mainland portion plus five inhabited islands, is one of the smallest on the African continent. President Teodoro Obiang NGUEMA MBASOGO has ruled the country since 1979 when he seized power in a coup. Although nominally a constitutional democracy since 1991, the 1996, 2002, and 2009 presidential elections - as well as the 1999, 2004, 2008, and 2013 legislative elections - were widely seen as flawed. The president exerts almost total control over the political system and has discouraged political opposition. Equatorial Guinea has experienced rapid economic growth due to the discovery of large offshore oil reserves, and in the last decade has become Sub-Saharan Africa's third largest oil exporter. Despite the country's economic windfall from oil production, resulting in a massive increase in government revenue in recent years, improvements in the population's living standards have been slow to develop.

Over the fifty-two weeks, the collecting of data about our lives became a kind of ritual. We would spend the week noticing and noting down our activities or thoughts, before translating this information into a hand-drawn visualization.

On the front of the postcard there would be a unique representation of our weekly data, and, on the other side (in addition to the necessary postage and address), we would squeeze in detailed keys to our drawings: the code to enable the recipient to decipher the picture, and to fantasize about what had happened to her new friend the week before.

We prefer to approach data in a slower, more analogue way. We've always conceived Dear Data as a "personal documentary" rather than a quantified-self project which is a subtle - but important - distinction. Instead of using data just to become more efficient, we argue we can use data to become more humane and to connect with ourselves and others at a deeper level.

The youcubed team collaborated with graphic artists to create a picture book about data science and data literacy. We recommend that students discuss the different images and think about the messages they convey.

We are providing 4 versions of the picture book. One is a set of color posters, another is a set of black and white posters that could be colored by students. A third is a color booklet that is ordered in a way that you can organize into a printable 12-page booklet. Look at the posters or the thumbnails below to see the intended order of the pictures. The fourth is a black and white version of the booklet. We hope you and your students enjoy this resource.

Data talks are short 5-10 minute classroom discussions to help students develop data literacy. This pedagogical strategy is similar in structure to a number talk, but instead of numbers students are shown a data visual and asked what interests them.
