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.
Characteristics of Charts

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.
