Data Analysis & Application

Fact Finding: What facts can you

identify from the data?

40% of the class earned a grade of

C-, or 1.5 out of 4, on the Weather
Bar Graph assessment.

3 students earned a perfect score of

4 out of 4 on the Weather Bar
Graph assessment.

Student 17 earned a zero on the

Weather Bar Graph assessment.

18 out of the 20 students earned a

grade of .5 or lower under the
category of labels.

Hypotheses: What hypotheses can you

make about each fact? (Answer the
question, what did you do that
contributed to these results?) (Past
Tense)
I did not teach the students how to think
beyond just thought to actually creating
the graph. The students did not get
enough practice or feedback from me to
help prepare them for the assessment.

Action Plan: What will you do

based on the facts and
hypotheses you concluded?
(Future Tense)

I taught the content accurately and

appropriately for the top three students
in the class. I taught my lesson in a way
that made since to them, but maybe not
some others.
I went to fast for the student and they
couldnt keep up. I did not give enough
clear examples or hands on activities to
help the student understand.

N/A

I have not thoroughly prepared students

to create their own graphs with all the
required labels. I have not given enough
examples, or given students enough
visual or hands on.

I will go back and reteach the

important steps or components
needed for a graph or table. I will
work with students with example
graphs to help them see what
needs to be put in their own
graphs.

I will have the student complete

another assignment similar to this
assignment. I will make sure the
student does not get a zero for
the class. I will also go over how
to make a graph and have the
student practice making a graph
one step at a time.
I will go back and teach
specifically about labels and
graphs. I will show them examples
of graphs while I am instructing. I
will make sure students
understand the content before we
move on again.
