 Graphic Literacy Level 01

Here are some engaging hands-on activities to teach Graphic Literacy for adults, focusing on Putting Things in Order, along with learning objectives and materials:

Learning Objectives

• Understand how to organize data in numerical, sequential, and alphabetical order.

• Develop skills to interpret and arrange graphs and data in logical orders.

• Apply these skills to real-world and workplace scenarios.

Activities and Materials

1. Numerical Order

• Activity: Provide participants with graphs or data sets containing numerical values (e.g., sales figures, survey results). Ask them to arrange the graphs or data in ascending or descending numerical order.

• Materials:

  • Graphs with numerical data.

  • Sorting cards.

  • Calculators (optional).

  • Markers and pens.

2. Sequential Order

• Activity: Present graphs or data sets that represent events or trends over time (e.g., monthly sales, weekly attendance). Participants arrange the graphs in chronological order.

• Materials:

  • Graphs with time-based data.

  • Timeline templates.

  • Sticky notes.

  • Markers.

3. Sequential and Numerical Order

• Activity: Combine numerical and sequential order by providing data sets with both time and numerical values (e.g., monthly sales figures). Participants arrange the data in chronological order while ensuring numerical accuracy.

• Materials:

  • Graphs with time and numerical data.

  • Sorting instructions.

  • Markers and pens.

4. Alphabetical Order

• Activity: Provide graphs or data sets with titles (e.g., "Attendance Trends," "Budget Allocation"). Participants arrange the graphs in alphabetical order based on their titles.

• Materials:

  • Pre-made graphs with titles.

  • Sorting cards or labels.

  • Markers.

5. Putting Things in Order Summary

• Activity: Combine all types of order (numerical, sequential, alphabetical) into a single exercise. Participants receive a mixed set of graphs and data and must organize them using all three criteria.

• Materials:

  • A variety of graphs and data sets.

  • Sorting instructions.

  • Markers, sticky notes, and a workspace.

These activities are designed to make learning about ordering data and graphs interactive and practical.
