Lesson Plan
Sequence and Scope of Instruction:
1) Instruct students to take out their math
notebooks for a warm-up word problem.

Instructional Strategy
1) Write word problem on
board:
Kerry is planting vegetable
seeds for the summer. She
plants 5 tomato seeds, 5
cucumber seeds, and 2 carrot
seeds. How many seeds has she
planted in all?
1) Draw a picture of the
vegetables to represent the
seeds.
2) Write an equation.
circulate to check students
progress, and review answer on
board as a class.

Lesson Plan
1) Review graphing, vocabulary, and
aspects of a graph.

1) Review measurement and

data, and how we can put
our data (information) into
graphs. Provide definition
of data, graph, axis,
organize and interpret in
relation to graph.
2) Refer to mice graph, this is
an example of a picture
graph, because it displays
pictures of our data, which
was where mice were found
on the farm.
3) Refer to bar graph and
review aspects of said
graph: bars/columns that
begin from the bottom up,
are labeling our type of
information. On the left
hand side of the graph, we
see the number counting the
data.
4) Today we will be making
another bar graph, and
tallying our data as we go.
Instead of making
pictures of our data, we
will be filling in the
rectangles on our graph to
make columns which look
like bars (not pictures)
and making tallies to
count our data.
5) Review how to make
tallies, four lines in a row,
and one to cross over the
four, from one corner to the
other.

6) Give worksheet out.
7) Ask students to get four
crayons out: pink, purple,
yellow, and green.
8) Do one sight word at a time,
tallying as a class. Ask
students to start with green,
to color the like sight
words. Count and tally.
Continue with the remaining
colors.
like : green
look : pink
this : yellow
that purple
*poster (teacher)
9) circle to check on students
progress, praise and move on.
10) once tallied, then move on
to color bar graph with
appropriate color, starting with
green for like, moving on to
pink for look, yellow for
this, and purple for that.
STARTING from the bottom
and coloring up!
Circle to check all are coloring
correctly.
11) Once finished, answer
questions on back to check
comprehension of graphing.

12) number the board and
answer questions together on
chalk board, circling room to
keep students on track.

Closure: Reiterate to class we have just organized and interpreted data! Check and dismiss to put
into cubby to proceed to prep.
Well done!
