Unit Level Goals:

Students will learn how to analyze data on simple single-unit bar chart with four categories. They will solve simple put-together, take-apart, and
compare problems using information presented in a bar graph.
State Mandated Standard(s): 2.MD.10

Management Considerations Preteaching, Visual Cues, Frequent Feedback, M&M’s graph

Introduction to Lesson/Activate Thinking: Hook: Show students a mug full of M&M’s and ask them which color has the most by
reading the bar graph.

Connection to Background knowledge or Previous Learning: Why do we use bar graphs?

Body of Lesson/Step-by-Step Introduce and Model New Knowledge: Ask students what is a bar graph and why we use
Procedures/Teaching Strategies bar graphs to analyze data?

Guided Practice: Show students mug of M&M’s and example bar graph and ask what
color M&M has the most.
 Independent Practice: Students are given 8 M&M’s. The students will complete bar
graph showing how many colors of M&M’s they have.

Lesson Closure: Review Standard/Summarize Learning: Student will learn how to analyze data on a bar
graph.

Connection to Tomorrow’s Lesson: Tomorrow we complete a different bar graph with

more real world data.
