2. Development
3 minutes
a. Go back to the number and pull out days 13 and 19
b. Let’s refresh our memories. What kind of graph is day 13?
i. Answer: Picture graph
c. What observations do you see in this graph?
i. Possible answer: There are 14 sunny days in July.
d. What kind of graph is day 19?
i. Answer: Bar Graph
e. What observations do you see in this graph?
i. Possible answer: It was 72 degrees on Monday.
f. In the first graph, day 13, it is measuring the amount of sunny days in a month. In the
second graph it is measuring the highest temperature of each day.
3. Guided Practice
3 minutes
a. We are going to make our own graph together first and then each of you are going to
make your own individual graph and a question to go along with it, that you will then
trade with a peer for them to answer.
b. What should our graph be measuring?
i. Possible answer: The different clubs everyone is in.
c. Would a picture graph, bar graph, or line plot work best to demonstrate or data?
i. Possible answer: Bar graph
d. What is a question you could ask about this graph?
i. Possible answer: How many students play sports after school?
e. (calling on another student) What is the answer to our question?
i. Possible answer: There are 6 students who play sports after school.

4. Independence Practice
5. Closure
2 minutes
a. What ways can you apply these graphs to your own life?
i. Possible answer: You can easily compare data.
IV. Materials
Number corner materials
Graph worksheet
Graph whiteboard
Dry erase markers
V. Adaptations/Plan Modifiers
a. Students with ADHD needs to be kept on track, either calling out his name or taping on his
desk.
b. A student can only do work for a limited amount of time before shutting down, he has an ad
to help him through his break downs
c. One needs breaks throughout the day, however, can make it through math class and excels. If
needs a break she can switch what she is doing or go to a different part of the room.
d. If extra time have the students trade graphs again and look over and answer the question
e. If not enough time don’t have the students trade graphs.
VI. Evaluation
Formative – See above in part 4 in development.
Summative – at teacher’s discretion.
VII. Reflection
1. Student
Can students interpret data?
Can student’s analysis date?
Can students plot data?
Do students know how and when to use different graphs?
Can students make their own graphs?
Were the students engaged?
2. Teacher
Was the classroom environment kept under control?
Was the information explained to the students, so they could understand?
Did it reach the students ZPDs’?
To the students who were struggling, were the right scaffolds provided?
Did the assessments engage all the students?
If I were to teach this lesson again what would I change?
