Grade // Level: 1st Grade // Concept: // Basic Chart and Graph Concept // Lesson objectives // • Student will understand the basic concept of what graphs represent and how to create a simple chart. • Student will be able to read simple graphs and how to explain the findings • Student will be able to identify other students preferences and create a bond with other students // Time required to complete this lesson: // 1 class period // Title of lesson: // What Do I Like? // Resources/materials needed: // Markers Poster Board Computer with internet access Web 2.0 tools //Description of lesson // For this lesson, I plan to poll the students about what they like and dislike. Some of the example questions would be:

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">

What is My Favorite Food: a)Pizza b)Hamburgers c)Chicken Nuggets d)French Fries e)Tacos

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;"> What is My Favorite Animal a)Dog b)Cat c)Bird d)Snake e)Rabbit



<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">My Favorite Sport a)Football b)Soccer c)Basketball d)Gymnastics e)Swimming

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">By doing this simple activity I will first find out a little info about the students, and they will also be able to find out likes and dislikes of their classmates. Once the students have completed the poll, the class will compile the answers from all of the students and begin to create simple charts using the classes answers I will hope to include different types of charts (pie charts, bar graphs, line graphs) Once the students have seen some examples, the students will come up with their own poll questionnaire and create their own simple graph using the classes answers

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;"> //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Assignment: // <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;"> Students will be responsible for answering the questionnaire concerning their likes and dislikes and then will also be responsible for creating their own question to ask the other classmates. After they have gotten back the statistics from the class they will program the data into the graphing software and create their own graph. At the end of the lesson, students will share their findings with the rest of the class. Once the findings have been reported, the student will need to take the brief quiz at the bottom of the page to review our findings and the lesson

The web 2.0 tool allows the students to make graphs, which may have been difficult before, but the tool does the computations for the student and allows the students to display colorful graphs that they can be proud of. If this lesson was done with out the tool, it would have been fairly time consuming for the teacher and the student to figure out the computations, but with the tool, the student can create the graph on their own with minimal help from the teacher. The My Studiyo quiz that will be done at the end of the lesson, is a simple recap of the lesson and the teacher can easily see what students grasped the concept and which students may need additional practice. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">
