Description
This bundle includes activities that cover a variety of skills needed to be graphically literate! With this bundle, students will sharpen their graph creating skills, learn to critically examine graphs, hone their data collection design and implementation skills, and practice associating data with the most appropriate type of graph.
Included:
7 Graph Literacy Activities, each with their keys and teacher guides!
Visualizing Data
This activity requires students to collect data as a class and create three types of graphs (bar, line, and pie). With guidance from the teacher, students will provide real-time data to create graphs that are appropriate for each data set.
Associating Data with Graphs
This activity requires students to analyze three experiments and their data sets to decide the best way to visualize the data. Students will associate each dataset with either a bar, line, or pie graph. After matching the graph to the data set, they will create the graphs using the provided data.
Collecting and Associating Data with Graphs
This activity requires students to collect data as a class and create three types of graphs (bar, line, and pie). With guidance from the teacher, students will provide real-time data and create graphs that they think are best for visualizing each data set.
Analyzing Graphs
This activity requires students to analyze 5 unique graphs for their strengths and weaknesses. In Part 1, the students will use their knowledge of what makes a strong graph to identify the strengths and weaknesses and explain why the weaknesses make the graph more difficult to understand. In Part 2, the students will edit the graphs based on their previous analysis to make them easier to understand.
Designing Data Collection: Bar Graphs
This activity requires students to design their own data collection plan, implement the plan, create a bar graph of the data, and interpret the results. In a group, students will provide collect real time data to practice their scientific method and graphing skills.
Designing Data Collection: Line Graphs
This activity requires students to design their own data collection plan, implement the plan, create a line graph of the data, and interpret the results. In a group, students will provide collect real time data to practice their scientific method and graphing skills.
Designing Data Collection: Pie Graphs
This activity requires students to design their own data collection plan, implement the plan, create a pie graph of the data, and interpret the results. In a group, students will provide collect real time data to practice their scientific method and graphing skills.
How is this product useful?
-Excellent way to assess students’ understanding of graphs, data visualization, and the scientific method
-Provides students with the opportunity to practice collecting data and visualizing it in an appropriate way
-Includes using relatable, real-time data that will keep them engaged
-Can be used for a graphing unit or graph review throughout the year
