LESSON PLAN TEMPLATE

In this lesson…
Overview Student's will be taught how to compare and contrast different graphs
SOL 6.10 The student, given practical situation, will
a) represent data in a circle graph;
Standards of b) make observations & inferences about data represented in a circle graph;
Learning c) compare circle graphs with the same data represented in bar graph,
pictographs, and line plots.
Represent the mean of a set of data graphically as the balance point represented
in the line plot.
Essential Questions Describe the three measures of center and a situation in which each would
represent a set of data.

Students will be able to…

Objectives read and decipher which measure of center is appropriate for a given purpose.

I can represent data in a circle graph

Learning Target I can compare circle graphs with the same data represented in bar graphs,
pictographs and line plots.
Necessary Prior Students must be able to…

1. What steps did you go through to create this lesson? With whom did you talk, discuss, or edit your
lesson?
a. I talked to my cooperating teacher about what was being taught and what the students needed
the most help on.
b. I created my lesson from the teacher math textbook.

2. How did the SOLs and Objectives help focus your instruction?
a. SOLs and Objectives did not help me entirely because every student had trouble with points that
were not listed in the Objectives.
3. What parts of the instructional plan worked as you anticipated?
a. The graphing and worksheet worked well. The student's were active and engaging.

4. What, if any, adjustments needed to be made once you began?

a. The adjustment that needed to be made was slowing down and explaining the directions very
slow and thoroughly

5. How well did you anticipate the materials needed?

a. I anticipated the materials needed well. Glue started to run out so the substitute used was tape
which worked okay.

6. How effective was the assessment you chose to use? (If no assessment was used, what will the future
assessment be and how will you gauge its effectiveness?)
a. My assessment was used well

7. To what degree do you feel that this lesson was a success? What evidence do you have for the success
of the lesson? (Hint: Student learning is the key to a lesson’s success!)
a. This lesson was a great success. The students were able to visualize how each graph connected
to the other.

8. How did the time spent preparing for your lesson contribute to its success?
a. I spent several hours on this assignment deciding how I was going to administer it, all of which
contributed to its success.

 9. If you could do this lesson again with the same students, would you do anything differently? If so, what?
a. Yes; I was engaging with the students more to encourage participation.

10. Any last comments/reflections about your lesson?

a. No.
