Online Graphing Tools

For this activity I had to go to NAPE website and look at statistics for the last three years and compare the Reading scores of West Virginia to the National Average. Then I created graphs through Excel and Kid's Zone. Kid's Zone website is easy to follow for the most part. In document one you will find the 4th grade reading scores of WV compared to the National Average. In the second document you will find the reading scores in 8th grade from WV compared to the scores of the national average.

What did you do?
-I went to the NAPE websites and look at statistics then create graphs to show the statistics.
What did you learn?
-I learned how to create a graph using the website provided. I have always had some trouble creating graphs using Excel or Word but this was a lot better.
How can you use the new learning?
-You could use this to show test scores compared to other states, in your classroom, or anything to show comparsions.
