SL.CCR.2 Integrate and evaluate information presented in diverse media and formats, including visually, quantitatively, and orally.

SL.CCR.2. 1a Participate in collaborative conversations with diverse partners about grade 2 topics and texts with peers and adults in small and larger groups.
a. Follow agreed-upon rules for discussions (e.g., gaining the floor in respectful ways, listening to others with care, speaking one at a time about the topics and texts under discussion).

SL.CCR.2.2 Recount or describe key ideas or details from a text read aloud or information presented orally or through other media.

Performance Indicator

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.

Student Work

Assessment Tool

As a whole group the students count the data for types of fruit, crayons, and the number of pockets. As a class, the students complete the graphs in the “Graphs” PowerPoint Presentation.

Objective #1: Students sort and count objects to graph with correct representation and quantification as indicated on the 3-4 point accuracy on the Graph Rubric.

Students come up to the Smartboard to add parts of the picture or bar to complete the graphs. Students compare which are most and least represented.

Participation and Accuracy checklist.
Students receive a check plus if their answer was correct and a check if their answer was incorrect.

Independently students complete a picture graph.

Objective #2: Students create a picture graph of cubes after counting and sorting them with 3-4 points total accuracy on the Graph Rubric.

Individually students count their cubes and draw a one-to-one picture graphrepresentation.

The first page of the Cubes Picture Graph and M&Ms Bar Graph sheet assesses picture representation in a graph and compares the most and least of each color cube. The assessment is scored using the Graph Rubric

Independently students complete a bar graph.

Objective #3: Students create a bar graph using M&Ms after counting and sorting them with 3-4 points total accuracy on the Graph Rubric

Individually students count their M&Ms and color rectangles in a one-to-one correspondence in the bar graph.

The second page of the Cubes Picture Graph and M&Ms Bar Graph sheet assesses bar graph representation and compares the most and least of each color M&M. The assessment is scored using the Graph Rubric
