Graphing+Strategies

This is a list of strategies that the Science Department has created to address areas of need in their classroom.
**Class Discussion-** Show teacher made/text graph – review what graphs look like/ include/ tell us/ what does it show

**Discuss rubric-** Explain what type of questions there are/ what to look like

**Vocabulary -** Review all vocabulary associated with graphing/analyzing axis, legend, scale, etc…

**Make predictions-** Use examples of various graphs to make predictions see trends etc…

**White bards-** Group/individual creation/ analyzing graphs

**Peer check-** Peer check of work prior to completion—use rubric to grade each other or random sample of examples **Over Head Proj.-** Show teacher created graph and review-appropriate scale intervals and correct use of space

**White boards-** give problem the all students graph and use discovery learning to see errors

**Student exemplars-** show how/ what makes a good graph--comparing good to bad and middle

**Pre- flight check list-** create steps of how to create graph what is needed so students can use when they ractice

**Best composite graph-**Have students work in pairs/groups to create a graph/analyze

**Student Exemplars-** show high medium low ask why is this better than this… how do we do make this better

**Comment only grading**- have students correct mistakes and ask questions

**Incorporate questions** that use supporting details throughout the year so they are more familiar with type of questioning

**Mesh it into your curriculum** – so it seamlessly is part of class and then they see a reason for doing it
