Chart the information about schools on one of the three teaching masters that Education World has created for you. In the lower elementary grades, students can use Teaching Master 1 to fill in basic stats for up to ten schools, including school name and location, total number of students in the school, and number of teachers in the school. Teaching Master 2 offers a form on which students can fill in the number of students in each grade. Teaching Master 3 challenges students in the upper elementary to high-school grades to figure percentages of students by grade level. Let your students choose the schools they will chart, or use ten schools that we've selected for you.
Students identify the location on a U.S. map of the schools they choose to chart.
At the lower grades, students can color in the state in which each school is found. At the upper grades, students might use an atlas to locate each city and mark the city's location on the map. Students can print out one of two on-line maps we've found for you, U.S. Map 1 or U.S. Map 2. Tailor the activity to your grade level. Fifth graders might create a bar graph to compare the numbers of students in fifth grade at ten different schools.
