Lesson Plan 2

The lesson plan outlines how to teach third grade students about bar graphs through creating and conducting their own surveys to collect data, then using that data to correctly label and plot a bar graph. Students will gain hands-on experience making graphs through independent and group work, and their understanding will be assessed through completed worksheets and participation during class activities and discussions. The lesson aims to help students understand how bar graphs can represent information and be used in other subjects outside of math class.

Lesson Plan

ELL 206
PREPARATION

Name: Dara Belohlavek

Course: Mathematics

Topic (Unit): Statistics/Data Analysis Lesson: 3rd grade


Big Idea Expression: Bar graphs can be used to represent gathered information

Standards:

2.6.3.A: Gather data from surveys and observations within the classroom or homes.
2.6.3.B: Organize and display data using pictures, tallies, charts, bar graphs and
pictographs.

Objectives:
Given a prompt, the children will create and survey their peers with a question in order
to gather information for a graph.
Given a blank graph, the children will correctly label and input previously collected
information into a bar graph.

Essential Questions:
How can you use bar graphs outside of math class? Where else might they be useful?
What other things could you survey?
Materials/Resources:
Blank graph worksheet
Chalkboard

Computer

Vocabulary:
Graph: a diagram used to visually describe information
Plot: to mark on a chart or graph
X-Axis: the horizontal (left to right) line of the graph
Y-Axis: the vertical (up and down) line of the graph
Label: to name something or put in a group or category

UDL Considerations:
Level 1: Students should repeat parts of graph or point to label parts of graph in order to
demonstrate understanding.
Level 3: Students should verbally explain how to make a bar graph alongside a partner.
Level 5: Students should verbally explain the purpose and process of making bar charts
alongside a partner.

PRESENTATION

graphs for them to get them to laugh a little bit.

EVALUATION

Student Closure: Pair/Share: the teacher will ask the students to pair up with the person next to
them and share how to correctly make a bar graph.

Assessment: The students will complete the worksheet with their personal survey/bar graph
and hand in to the teacher. Teacher will assess knowledge through worksheets, participation,
and observation during individual/group work.

Homework: Take a survey of people or friends at home and make a bar graph
