Slow Reveal Graphs Offers Resources for Elementary Teachers
Curated by Jenna Laib, the site collects statistics of interest to young students. The data is shared in a short slide deck. Each show has clear graphic images that are easily accessible to students, and sample questions for teachers. Jenna also created a coherent Introduction to Slow Reveal Graphs, explaining what they are and how to make the most of them in your classroom.
Classroom resources include: bar graphs, line graphs, pictographs, scatterplots, stacked area graphs, circle graphs, infographics & maps, and more. One of the best things is that many of the graphs share important scientific and social information, connecting math with other academic subjects.
Here is a Small Sample:
- American’s Familiarity with Juneteenth (2021) Based on a survey done in 2021, this resources includes a slow reveal circle chart and an entire list of paired resources to go with it.
- Colors per National Flag How many colors are used in national flags of the world? This joyful bar graph connects with other topics such as estimation, presenting data, social studies or building cultural competency.
- US Coins Produced in 2017 Are your students learning about money? Even though this graph is about the smallest amounts of US currency, it uses large numbers and can be used to introduce big ideas.
- Most Eaten Cereals in the US Per Week (2018) How does the data in this graph pair with data collected in your class, grade level or entire school? Challenge your students to make America’s next favorite breakfast cereal, and place it where it belongs on this graph.
- Materials Recycled in Pounds per Person per Day (US) What happens after we dump a jar or container into the recycling? Take a closer look at the data related to trends in recycling.
As always, I hope you find this resource of value in your work. Please review the slide decks and other resources before sharing with your students, to make sure the content is appropriate for everyone. For example, if any of your students live in food insecure families, then please be aware of how you present graphs about breakfast cereals or other food related information.
I enjoy sharing math resources, if you would like to see more posts like this, please let me know.
All the best!
