Lesson+Plans

I used 21st Century Skills and Tools to challenge and motivate my students and used the McREL template to help plan the lessons. The result of the lessons will be shown in the Salem History Project through the graphs. The graphs will compare the following: Population of Salem for 1880, 1900, 1950, 2000, 2010, 2050 Farms in and around Salem (with Salem Address): 1900, 1950, 2000, 2010, 2050 Salem School Enrollment: 1902, 1920, 1950, 1964, 1980, 1990, 2010, 2050 We felt we needed more information and dates in order to make a more accurate prediction. =Lesson Plan #1=

The students in my 3rd grade class are going to use data to make a bar graph. They will need to be able to label parts of a bar graph and to interpret a bar graph. They will transfer information that is gathered to create a bar graph using a table in Word. They will label the vertical and horizontal axes and decide on the scale (numbers, labels) to be used. Students will ask questions using graph data.
 * __Brief lesson description__**

3.S.1.1 and 3.S.1.2. Students are able to ask and answer questions from data represented in bar graphs, pictographs, and tally charts. Students are able to gather data and use the information to complete a scaled and labeled graph.
 * __District content standard/benchmark addressed__**

Students use technology tools to enhance learning, increase productivity, and promote creativity. Students will use technology to create and collaborate in constructing technology models and prepare graphs for presentation.
 * __NETS-S technology standard addressed__**

 * __Technology resources needed (hardware and software)__**

__**Procedure**__
 * Purpose:** Students will collect data for making a bar graph to show any subject they choose. (color of eyes, favorite sports, pets, etc.) The student will need to decide the title for the graph, the label for the horizontal axes, scale and labels to be used in the graph. They will need to consider the least and the greatest number shown on the graph, or the range of numbers. Students may then create a bar graph using data they have collected. After collecting and recording data, the students will prepare a minimum of 3 questions that could be answered by using the data in the graph. When the graph is completed in Word, they will type the 3 questions and prepare for presentation.

__**Assessment Method**__
 * __Presentation.__** Students will present to the class, a completed graph and explain the process of creating a bar graph and the results of the graph to include the title, the meaning of the vertical and horizontal axes, and the scale. They will then ask the questions they have written and the classmates will answer according to the data in the graph.

Students will work with a partner to develop a Notebook slide for the SmartBoard showing Probability. The students will depict one of the following: Is the situation Likely, Unlikely, Possible, Impossible, or Certain? Example: There are 5 blue marbles, 2 orange marbles, and 1 pink marble. What is the probability of choosing a purple marble? Or What is the probability of choosing a pink marble?
 * __Brief lesson description__**

3.S.2.1. Students are able to describe events as certain or impossible.
