Advantages of Radar ChartMajor assessment for a school on 1 paperEasily compare tests to testsShows movement of success and failureCompare current year to previous years.

Purpose of Pareto Chart

To identify frequency of events.

Rate events frequency from greatest to least. 

Track Student Progress with a Run Chart

Gathering Data

Step 1: Gather your data. For example, the total number of correct answers by a class on a given

series of spelling or math tests.

Total the correct number of answers for your 20 students on a series of tests.

20 students x 20 items per test = 400 total possible answers.

Test 1 - 350 answers correctTest 2 - 360 answers correctTest 3 - 375 answers correctTest 4 - 365 answers correctTest 5 - 385 answers correctTest 6 - 390 answers correctTest 7 - 400 answers correct

Enter the Data in a Spreadsheet

Increase Student Learning with a Histogram Chart

Data Collection Using Vocabulary Quizzes

Make a list of the vocabulary that students need to learn for background knowledge for the entire year (example: 100 words).

Write each word on a separate index card and place them in a fish bowl.

Give a quiz bi-weekly on a sampling of words pulled randomly from the fish bowl.

The sampling should equal the square root of the total number of words (example: the square root of 100 is 10).

Quiz

Give the quiz.Put the results in an Excel Spreadsheet.Create a bar graph (Histogram) to illustrate

your results.Share and discuss your results with the class.

Creating a Histogram Chart in Excel

Entering Data into Excel.

Open a new worksheet in Excel.

Enter your data.
