UNDERSTANDING & READING GRAPHS & CHARTS IN GEOGRAPHY

INTRODUCTION ACTIVITY

This lesson is an introductory lesson to (1) prepare students and a climate students with the different types of graphs and charts, (2) to understand the difference between a graph and a chart, (3) begin learning to decipher the data each represents and (4) how each represents the data.

OBJECTIVE:
o The learner will understand the difference between a graph and a chart and will be able to identify each.
o The learner will recognize 14 graphs and/or charts.
o The learner will interpret 14 graphs and/or charts.

MATERIALS:

o Reading Activity: (2 pages) Is it a Graph or Chart? (Included)
o 14 Graph & Map Stations (Included)
o List of graphs & charts (Included)
o Laminate- Laminate all 14 stations and list of graphs and charts for future use and

o Rulers for each station for students to use in reading the graphs.
o Student answer sheet, one per student or one per team to save paper and ink.

(Included)

o Exit Cards (Included)
o Timer to measure time at each station.

PREPARATION:

Laminate each station and the list of chart and graph names for each station. The list of chart and graph names will be used as a reference for students. Prepare each station with a ruler and any other supplies that may be needed.

INTRODUCTION:
Either show an introduction video (there are some suggestions below) or have students participate in the introduction activity.

PROCEDURE:
Reading Activity: Organize the class into teams of 2-4, at the teacher’s discretion. Have student groups read and discuss the student reading activity (2 pages included).

Carousel Activity: Student groups will rotate from one station to the next answering four (4) questions at each station and identifying each graph and/or chart. Based on the information provided in the reading on how to determine a graph and/or chart, students will identify each station as a graph or chart, how the data is being displayed, the name of the graph or chart, and provide an interpretation of each. Provide groups 3 minutes at each station; use a timer. You may cut down on the number of stations if- your class time is more limited. Students will work together to complete the questions for each station on their Student Answer Sheet. When the timer goes off, all groups will move on to the next station. Once the carousel activity is complete, display each chart and answer and discuss them together allowing students to correct their answers.

CLOSURE / EVALUATION:
Have students complete and submit an Exit Card

ENRICHMENT REVIEW ACTIVITY:
Have students choose a topic and create their own chart or graph as a home assignment for extra credit. They can present and display them in the classroom the next day.

Need an awesome Art Unit? I have just the thing for you! This creative Mandala Design artwork was designed to be printed and displayed as examples while you teach. Use this Google Slide file to display these beautiful images one-by-one on a large screen. For this assignment, I did a demo and taught the class how to use a ruler and a yardstick. Measurements and Math was a strong focus of the lesson. Next, students spent the rest of the first lesson brainstorming an idea for a stencil (¼ of their full Mandala Design. I taught the students how to rotate their stencil to get a Radial Design. Students started on their Final Copy paper and outlined their drawing in sharpie marker. We used large windows to trace our stencils on the final. Students used colored pencils, colored sharpies, or watercolor paint to color their Mandala Design. I hope you and your kiddos love this! Enjoy.

**Get your students moving through the United States while learning geography and math skills. **Students will move through the United States as they travel through seven destinations of their choice. This activity integrates math and geography, featuring map reading and measurement using a map scale. It includes calculations for gas costs, driving times, mileage, and more.

This resource encourages students to **problem-solve **while accurately using a map scale to plan a round trip across the United States. As students calculate distances, mileage, driving times, and gas expenses, they will develop higher-order thinking skills with real-life application.

This engaging activity empowers students to take ownership of their learning. Additionally, the instructions offer helpful tips on using yarn to teach how to measure distances on a road map. Students will learn how travel was done before GPS. Although we rely on GPS systems to get us from Point A to Point B, it is still important to know in today's digital age.

While GPS navigation systems and online mapping tools have made it easier to find our way around, having a good grasp of map scales can still come in handy. By using a map scale, students can accurately calculate distances on maps and understand the relationship between the physical size of the area being represented and its distance on the map. This skill can be useful for planning road trips, hiking excursions, or even understanding the layout of a city. Additionally, knowing how to read a map scale can help students develop spatial awareness and improve their overall geographical knowledge. So, while technology may make navigation more convenient, learning how to use a map scale is still a valuable skill that will never go out of style.

This activity incorporates math with geography:

• Measurement
• Gas Cost Calculations
• Driving Time Calculations
• Mileage Calculations &
• Map Reading

This lesson will require each team has a large laminated road map that can be purchased through or donated by your local stores, such as Walmart or Target.

If you have a way to make poster-sized maps, you can google the road maps of America and there are many that can be found.

This is the fifth and final workbook in our Introducing Algebra series.

This pack is filled with worksheets designed to introduce students to patterns and linear sequenes, and to develop an understanding of the nth term, and how to use it to find any term of the sequence. It covers some common sequences that are not linear, such as square numbers and the fibonacci sequence, but doesn’t require finding or using the nth term of these. Each worksheet is differentiated 3 ways.

Also included are the same worksheets, but put into differentiated workbooks, so you can hand these to your students to use as homework, or an ongoing project.

The worksheets consist of the following:

Worksheet 1 Patterns of Shapes - introduces students to basic patters using shapes.

Worksheet 2 Gaps in the Sequence - introduces number sequences, and what rules they follow (for example, starting at 2, add 3 to each term).

Worksheet 3 Function Machines - solidifies the link between a rule and a pattern by using Function Machines.

Worksheet 4 Fencing In - covers 2 pages, and follows a pattern of fences. Students find the next in the sequence. For the highest differentiation of this worksheets, students need to already know how to find an nth term.

Worksheet 5 Dinner Table Conundrum - similar to worksheet 4, with a focus on following a pattern of tables and chairs. Differentiation 1 does not require the nth term.

Worksheet 6 Fishing for Sequences - involves finding numbers that match a pattern. Both the nth term and the rule for the sequence is given.

Worksheet 7 The nth Term - requires students to both find the nth term of a linear sequence, and to find terms of a given nth term.

Worksheet 8 Riddle Me This - consists of a riddle that reveals a famous mathematician.

Worksheet 9 Nth Term in Words - delves deeper into recognising linear sequences and understanding how to find specific terms and checking if a given value will appear in the sequence.

Worksheet 10 Fibonacci and Pascal’s Triangle - offers a challenge by looking at both the Fibonacci Sequence and Pascals Triangle

This is available in a bundle along side Factoring and substitution, One and Two step equations, Forming and solving Linear Equations and Sequences and nth Term. If you get the bundle, you'll also receive a free revision test and check list. (If you have purchased these individually, or bought 3 workbooks from the bundle, get in touch at littlestreams@gmail.com and we will send you the revision booklet in an email).

Incorporate STEAM in your classroom by combining technology with math and art! This unit teaches students the geometry of tessellations by combining art and math. First, students learn about what tessellations are and their history, as well as the math behind them as they answer questions by searching for the information on the Internet in a WebQuest. Next, they create tessellations following a step-by-step tutorial in MS PowerPoint. After creating three simple tessellations following the steps, they create a tessellation of their own and write a short paragraph explaining the math in their design.

For classrooms that don’t have access to technology (or teachers who prefer to do this without using technology), starter tessellation handouts (editable) are included so students can do the design portions on paper. This is perfect for a technology class, a math class, or an art class. The project was created for grades 7-8 but could easily be adapted for older students.

This lesson is great for distance learning/remote learning. You can upload it to your school's learning management system (Google Classroom, Edmodo, Canvas, etc.) or share with students via Google Drive.
