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.
Kinds of charts
1-Alphabet chart.
2-Consonant chart.
3-Enlarged primer page.
4-Num,ber chart.
5-Punctuation chart.
6-Song chart.
7-Vowel chart.
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.
Characteristics of Charts:
– be clear, easy to understand and easy to find.
– display content that is current and supports complex skills.
– have a clear purpose.
– include steps for how to do specific strategies or procedures.
– have visuals including symbols, pictures, or photos to go with words.
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 other 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. They are NOT wallpaper!
