This lesson plan aims to teach 22 second grade students how to identify and use bar graphs, line graphs, pie graphs, and pictographs. Over the course of a week, students will learn about the parts and uses of graphs through activities on the smart board, posters, videos, blogs, and social media sites. Their understanding will be assessed by having them create their own graph using collected data.
