Definition:
A chart is a group of related facts presented in the form
of a diagram, table, graph, or other visually organized
model.
A chart is a graphical representation for data visualization,
in which "the data is represented by symbols, such as bars
in a bar chart, lines in a line chart, or slices in a pie chart". ...
A data chart is a type of diagram or graph, that organizes
and represents a set of numerical or qualitative data.
Uses:
A chart is a good means or aid of teaching.
It brings environment to the process of teaching inside the
class indirectly. Instead of visiting the actual fields of a lesson
in real life, the chart can bring such scene into class to be
seen by learners.
The purpose is to give life to the theoretical learning.It facilitates
the process of presentation in class.
A chart is a useful way to present and display information or
instructions, especially in a classroom or other educational
situation.
It can range from a large wall chart to a single piece of paper.

A chart is are an excellent tool that can help students
become independent thinkers and problem solvers
when working to master the CCSS. And although the
standards are complex, when the processes are broken
down and displayed for students, they can more easily
internalize and master them.
Charts don’t have to be perfect! They are most successful
when they are created by or with students, and modified
or altered as students’ understanding of the concept changes.

Teachers create charts
1. Charts should reflect the students’ reading level.
Smarter Charts recommends that the charts created in
the classroom mimic the amount of print on a page,
the spacing between words and the number of lines
of print that children are used to seeing in their reading.
Therefore, first grade charts would look much different
from fourth or fifth grade charts.
2. Charts should be created with students so that they
have some ownership of what goes on it, and will therefore
refer to it. It is not necessary that the entire chart is created
together, but it should not be something that is completely
pre-made either.
Charts should be a work in progress, one that helps
students to remember the major points of the mini
lessons you teach.
3. There has to be some system in place that helps students
to remember to refer to charts when needed. After all, that
is why they are created…to help students become independent problem solvers!
Systems could include simple things such as having students
post-it note the chart they used (or want to use); students
can sign charts they have become “expert” on and then othe
r students can go to them for help; teachers could ask
students “Which chart could help you with that?” during
mini-lessons, after workshop shares or conferences.
The idea is to constantly remind students to use the charts
and information that is available to them.
