This lesson will be teaching the students about what a bar graph is and what a pictograph is
How will this lesson support the learning goal?
while also teaching them how to represent data using those graphs. We will also be learning
(1c: Setting Instructional Outcomes)
how to read the graphs so we can answer questions based off of those graphs.

the cupcake? What would it be worth then? 50 that’s correct! Great job!
16. So if we see half a cupcake what does that equal? 50 cupcakes.
17. Let’s do number 7 together. Number 7 says, “The cupcake bakery only makes two kinds
of cupcakes: chocolate and white. On Friday, - everyone underline Friday- they baked
200 white cupcakes. How many white cupcakes did they make?”
18. What day are we talking about in number 7? Friday, excellent!
19. So let’s go up to Friday in our pictograph and how many cupcakes do a picture of 1
cupcake represent? 100. So we have 6 cupcakes total. They are all full cupcake pictures,
no halves. So that would mean that each of the 6 pictures would equal 100.
20. 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600. The bakery made 600 cupcakes on Friday. Anyone have
any questions so far?
21. That’s not our answer just yet. Because if you go back to number 7, it says that they
baked 200 white cupcakes. So that would mean that 2 of our cupcakes are white. Circle
the 2 cupcakes.
22. We are left with, count with me. 1, 2, 3, 4 cupcakes. Each cupcake is 100 cupcakes so
that would mean we have, 100, 200, 300, 400 chocolate cupcakes that were made on
Friday.
23. So what is our answer for number 7? Right, 400 chocolate cupcakes.
24. Now I want you to work on the rest of the questions for a little while.
25. If you finish or have any questions at all please ask one of us. We are here to help you!
26. Make sure to read the questions carefully!
27. Walk around while students are working. Answer any questions they may have.
28. When they are finish I will check their answers.
29. If anyone finishes early I have a worksheet for students to complete.
30. We will be working on this for about 15 (ish) minutes.
31. Those finished can hand in their worksheets. Those who are not finished can finish it for
homework.
32. Now we are going to transition from pictographs to bar graphs.
33. We are going to watch a short video that will help us to get a better understanding for
bar graphs and how we can use them (YouTube video called, Bar Graphs for 2nd Grade
Kids - Create your own Bar Graph. Created by Math & Learning Videos 4 Kids
YouTube channel)
34. Video is almost four minutes long.
35. Throughout the video I will be repeating the important things such as title, data, etc.
36. I will also be walking around the room to make sure everyone is paying attention.
37. Any questions about this video?
38. I am handing out our second worksheet that is all about bar graphs. Please put your
name on the top and put your pencil down.

39. This worksheet is called Newspaper Bar graph. Can someone read the directions nice
and loud?
40. So the title of this graph is called Newspaper Subscription Sales. The months are along
the y-axis over here and they are December, November, October, September, August,
July, and June. Then we have the number of subscriptions on the x-axis. These numbers
start at 0 and go all the way to 1,200. Each of these boxes down here represents 100.
Let’s label that so we can read it easier.
41. Any questions so far?
42. Let’s do number 1 together. It is asking, how many newspaper subscriptions were sold
in October?
43. Let’s go up to our bar graph and go to our y-axis find the month of October. Once you
find it you move your finger along the black bar until you get to the end of it. Now we go
from the end and bring our finger down to the x-axis. If you think you have the number
give me a thumbs up. What number do we have? 950. Great! So the answer to question
number 1 is that in the month of October there were 950 subscriptions sold.
44. Try the next 3 problems on your own. Again, if you need any help or have any questions
please ask one of us.
45. Once you are finished come find me with your paper.
46. Those who finish early have another worksheet they can do.
47. They have about 10 (ish) minutes to work on the rest of the problems. Those who don’t
finish can finish for homework.
48. I will be walking around answering questions and making sure everyone is on task doing
what they are supposed to be doing.

appreciated. She helped check a few of the students work for me when I was a little
backed up with the hands being raised for me to come check their work. I do wish I
had some more practice with the SmartBoard so I could be that much more efficient
with it but that will come overtime. I received a few comments from students who
noticed things and I didn’t really know how I should respond but I think I responded
appropriately. I haven’t been to this class in quite some time because of snow days
and being sick so learning the student’s names has been slow. I did not know every
ones names and that was where I struggled when it came to answering questions or
calling on those students whose hands were raised. I think I could have focused more
on my wait-time and waited a little longer for some more hands to go up. That is
something I will continue to work on to try to improve. If I were to do this lesson
over again, I would go over the answers as a class. I would project the worksheet
onto the board so every one was following along and I would review each of the
answers just for better understanding. I loved to hear the students talk with each
other at the beginning about what they noticed in the charts. I am glad that I made
sure the students completed the worksheets individually so that when I checked I
was able to see whether or not they understood the question. Their were a few
instances where I had to remind the students to read the entire question so you know

didn’t read the questions fully and who did. For those students who didn’t read it all
the way through I circled the number that I wanted them to redo and told them to
read the question carefully and try again. At the last minute I decided I would label
the piles of extra worksheets with a one and a two. I am glad I did that because even
with the labels there was still some confusion for some students. I feel as if I had a
good control of the class. When I asked them to turn and talk they did and when I
asked them to be quiet so we can move on they did that too. There were a few times
we had a few chatty children but that is to be expected and it wasn’t anything I
couldn’t handle. Overall I am very happy with the way my first lesson went. I
couldn’t have asked for a better group of students to work with for this topic and I
am so glad that it went well. I enjoy having these opportunities to get up in front of
the students. It has always been a great learning opportunity for not just the students
but for myself as a practicing teacher as well. I know that with time my confidence
in front of the students will continue to grow.
