BASIC PRODUCTIVITY TOOLS: SPREADSHEETS
Basic Productivity Tool Used: Graph Club
Standards Addressed:
CCGPS. 1. MD.4 Organize, represent, and interpret data with up to three categories;
ask and answer questions about the total number of data points, how many in each
category, and how many more or less are in one category than in another
Blooms Level of Critical Thinking:
X Remembering X Understanding X Applying X Analyzing Evaluating Creating
Description of how to implement in the class: The teacher will introduce the
activity by modeling how to collect data, add the information into Graph Club and
then analyze the information using a variety of graph formats- line, bar, picture and
circle. As the students enter the classroom, they will be asked to move a graphic of
two of their favorite animals found in their backyard onto a data collect graph
designed using ActivInspire software. Once the class has added their choice to the
graph, the teacher will lead a discussion to determine the number of choices made
for each animal.
The teacher will then lead the students through the steps of creating a graph using
Graph Club. A title, images representing the various animals and specific colors
assigned to each animal will be added to the graph. Once the data has been entered,
the teacher will support the students as they explore the various graph formats that
are available within Graph Club.
While exploring the various graphs, the teacher will prompt the students to analyze
the information provided in the graph using appropriate math terms such as greater
then, less than, most, least and equal. Statements will be added to the writing
component of Graph Club where various statements will be listed.
Extension Activity- The teacher can challenge the students analysis of the graph
using the following question formats: How many students have rabbits in their
backyard? How many students participated in the poll? How many students had more
birds then they did snakes?
Level of Technology Implementation (LoTi): This activity remains as a level 2
until the students are allowed to graph their information on their own. To move to a
level 3 and possibly a level 4, students will be encouraged to collect information,
graph the data and then analyze the results. Students could also add questions in the
writing window to give other students the opportunity to analyze the graphs. The
graph information could be printed and hung outside the classroom to challenge
other students in the school to review the graphs and determine the answer to the
questions.
Description of the sample
spreadsheet and graph/chart
provided *:
The graph displays the data
collected as students selected two
of their favorite animals from their
backyard. The final graphs can be
used to analyze the data
provided. Students discuss math
concepts such as more, less,
equal, the most, the least, the
total, etc.
