What did I do? I created a bar graph comparing WV and the National averages in mathematics. I used Kid Zone to create my graph. I used National Assessment of Educational Progress to get the statistics. I then wrote a summary of what I found out from the reviewing the statistics. Here is also a link to my document showing my graph and a summary of what I found. I thought this activity was easy once I got the hang of filling out the graph. My first graph is below.

What did I learn? I learned how to create a bar graph using the computer.

How could I use it? This would be a great way for students to incorporate technology with other subject areas. The website is fun and easy to follow.
