Summary and Suggestions:

This site houses a wealth of statistical information about a topic near and dear to many adolescent hearts: the movies. The particular data provided deals with box office dollars per month over a nine year period. Use this site as the jumping-off point for an open-ended study of graphical representation of data (allow students to choose how to represent the data, justify their choice, and compare the results), or think of this site as a "real live" matrix! Either way, have fun.
