AnimalWatch Vi: Building Graphics Literacy is designed for students at the 6th to 8th grade math level. Using an accessible (free) iPad app and a set of accompanying tactile graphics, students build their skills with different types of graphs, maps, and charts. Here are the units included: Tasmanian Devil: Bar Graphs 1 Grey Crowned Crane: Bar Graphs 2 Cane Toad: Line Graphs Giant Clam: Circle Graphs Platypus: Venn Diagrams Dinosaur Ant: Coordinate Planes 1 Grevy's Zebra: Coordinate Planes 2 Giant Land Snail: Box Plots African Penguin: Maps Flying Fox: Data Tables Using the app, each unit focuses on the skills students need to locate and interpret information presented in a given format. Data about endangered and invasive species are used throughout the curriculum to build students' knowledge and interest in environmental science. Each unit includes an introduction followed by 10 warmup problems. These multiple-choice problems build students' knowledge of the type of graphic and how to approach it. Next, students complete two sets of questions to practice the skills they learn. For each unit four graphics are used. They appear on the iPad screen and are also sold separately as tactile graphics with labeling in large print, UEB, or Nemeth within UEB Contexts.
