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.
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.
