Instructional Wonder
How does the use of anchor charts impact second grade
students ability to create bar graphs and compare problems
using information presented in bar graphs as evidenced by a preand post- test?
Rationale
ACCRS math standard 2-MD10 states that students should be able to
draw a bar graph (with single-unit scale) to represent a data set with up to
four categories. They should also be able to solve simple put-together, takeapart, and compare problems using information presented in the bar graph.
This is a very important skill for second grade students to learn. I have a selfcontained class of eighteen second grade students, and this is a skill that
they will need for the rest of their lives. Second grade builds the foundation
for collecting and using data to create a display. This mini-unit plan includes
strategies to support my second grade students in meeting this standard.
The main strategy that I will be using in my math unit is anchor charts. I will
be using anchor charts to focus my students thoughts on the different parts
of a bar graph, how to create them, and how to use them for problem
solving. My instructional wonder is, How does the use of anchor charts
impact second grade students ability to create bar graphs and compare
problems using information presented in bar graphs as evidenced by a preand post- test? I will assess if the standard is met by using student data that
I will collect using a pre- and post- test. I will compare the beginning and
ending test scores and draw a conclusion about the impact of my instruction
on student learning.
Math Mini-Unit Outcomes and Related Standards
Math Standards:
23.) Draw a picture graph and a bar graph (with single-unit scale) to
represent a data set with up to four categories. Solve simple put-together,
take-apart, and compare problems using information presented in a bar
graph. [2-MD10]
Technology Standards:
10.) Design original works using digital tools.

[SL.2.1]
28.) Recall information from experiences or gather information from provided
sources to answer a question. [W.2.8]
students, What is a
bar graph, and what
do they do? The
teacher will give the
students one minute
to collect their
thoughts, and then
the teacher will have
the students turn and
talk to their shoulder
partners. The teacher
will give the students
one to two minutes to
talk to their shoulder
partners. The teacher
will then say, Come
back to me in 3,2,1.
The students will end
their conversations
and return their
attention to the
teacher.
3. The teacher will
then ask several
students what they
discussed with their
shoulder partners. The
teacher will use equity

Procedures:
1. After creating the
class bar graph, the
teacher will pass out
the blank bar graph

label the parts of the
bar graph that is
displayed on the
board. The students

then have the
students record the
data displayed by the
bar graph on the
board.
3. After the students
record their data from

answer questions at
the bottom of the
recording sheet.
4. After the students
have completed the
recording sheet, the

Game- At this
station, student
pairs will be
given Ziploc
bags with

cards in them.
Like a traditional
matching game,
all the cards will
be flipped face
down. Students
will flip the
cards over to
see if they have
a matching pair.
Students will
have to match
the bar graph
data to the
picture of the
bar graph. The
student who
collects the
most matching
pairs wins.
Students will be
told that if they
finish their
game before
time is up, then
they should

group. The
teacher will
provide an
answer key
(which is a copy
of the matching
cards before
they were cut
apart) so that
students can
check the
matches that
they made.
2. The teacher will tell
the students that if
they forget what to
do, there are
directions at each
station. The reporter
from each group
should read the
directions to the rest
of the group.
3. The teacher will
divide the students
into three groups. The
teacher will then send
one group of students
to each station.
4. The teacher will
give the students
approximately 10
minutes at each
station rotation. The
teacher will walk
around among the
student groups during
station time to answer
any questions.
5. At the end of each
rotation, the teacher
will ring a bell. She
will then ask the

Station #1
At this station, you will work with your
group to create a bar graph. I have
given you a set of data to use. Model
your graph like the recording sheet
that we used earlier. Look at the
checklist to make sure you included
everything. Remember, work as a
team and have fun!
Station #2
Station #3
At this station you will be playing a
bar graph matching game. You will
need a partner to play this game. Get
your cards out of the Ziploc bag and
lay them face down. Flip over two
cards to see if they are a match. If
they match, then you get to keep the
cards. If they dont match, then flip
the cards back over. The partner with
the most cards at the end of the game
wins. When you and your partner are

ASSESSMENT PLAN
Pre-Assessment I will be pre-assessing my students through the use of a
pre-test. Students will independently take this test. The pre-test contains
eight questions that ask students to identify parts of a bar graph, answer
questions about bar graphs, and to create a bar graph based on a set of data
that is provided.

8. Miss Ragan asked her students about their favorite foods. She found out
that 4 students like pizza, 6 students like hamburgers, 5 students like
chicken fingers, and only 2 students like macaroni. Draw a label a bar graph
that displays this data.
Day 1 The teacher will begin Day 1 by giving her students the pre-test. The
teacher will listen to and assess the students discussions in order to assess
their prior knowledge of reading bar graphs. In the invention phase of the
lesson, the teacher will assess students oral responses to the question,
What is one thing that you learned about reading bar graphs? In the
expansion phase of the lesson, the teacher will assess students bar graph
recording sheets to determine if the students can read bar graphs.

Day 2 The teacher will begin the lesson by assessing students prior
knowledge of creating bar graphs. The teacher will ask the students what
they already know about creating a bar graph. The teacher will give the
students index cards to respond to her question on. During the invention
phase of the lesson, the teacher will assess students bar graph recording
sheets and their written responses to the closure question: What did you
learn about bar graphs today? The teacher will also assess the students
performance during stations through the use of anecdotal notes. At the chart
paper bar graph station, the teacher will provide a checklist for the students
to check their work with. At the matching station, the teacher will provide an
answer key (an uncut version of the matching cards).

In the invention phase of the lesson, the teacher will assess students oral
responses about the bar graph and she will assess the students responses
on their sticky notes. The students will answer this question on their sticky
notes: How does looking at a bar graph help you solve problems? In the
expansion phase of the lesson, the teacher will assess students chart papers
to determine if they were able to solve problems using the bar graphs that
they were given. At the end of the lesson, the teacher will assess student
learning by giving them the post-test.
