Charting

Today, we learned about making charts through the NCES website's creating a graph tool. We made a chart comparing the WV NAEP 4th grade math scores and the national average NAEP 4th grade math scores. I decided to make a bar graph, which turned out in our favor! In the bar graph, WV's scores appear to be keeping up with the national scores. Which is pretty impressive!
The graphing website is one of the best things I've gotten from this class so far. I plan on teaching middle school or junior high math, so graphs are going to come into play A LOT. This online tool is going to come in SO handy in my classroom. I will be able to assess my students' ability to create graphs. I am SUPER excited about using this in my class one day!!!
