Bar+Graph


 * Second Grade - Math **


 * Benchmark/Standard: ** [|CCSS.Math.Content.2.MD.D.10] Draw a picture graph and a bar graph (with single-unit scale) to represent a data set with up to four categories. Solve simple put-together, take-apart, and compare problems1 using information presented in a bar graph.


 * Overview: ** The students will practice their bar graph skills by gathering data to create a bar graph. After designing their bar graph the students will then ask other students about their bar graph to make sure other students know how to read and interpret a graph.


 * Directions: ** First, the students will work in pairs to create an idea to poll other classmates on. Once they have an idea they will make a spreadsheet in Google Docs for everyone in class to record their answers on.

 Next, the students will use the collected data to create a bar graph using the website []. After the students have created their bar graph, they will save and print. I will post all of the different bar graphs around the room for each student to view on their own.

 Then, the students will use @http://www.screencast-o-matic.com/ to briefly explain their bar graph. They will tell why they chose the topic and explain the data for the class to view.

 Finally, the pair will create a quiz asking several questions about their graph, including simple math problems using testmoz.com. They will then post all of their materials onto the class math blog.
