Why chart data?
A visual representation will help show trends, share info in a meaningful way, and illustrate what works/doesn’t work.
I use Numbers on the iPad. It’s simple, easy to use, and efficient. Also you can move iPad around room to update data.

Charting shows us trends that sometimes only the numbers don’t illustrate!

What app is this? Where can we get it?
Do you have to pay to download Numbers app now? 2 years ago, it was free.
Sorry! Didn’t say that. It is Numbers. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/numbers/id361304891?mt=8
It’s $9.99 🙁
Sasha can you upload a video working with thus app.? Please, please, please it is just what I need.
Yes! I will definitely do a video of this 🙂
How do you chart goals like this with multiple objectives, that involve more than just correct/incorrect?
Hi Candace, You can include multiple data lines or put multiple graphs on a page and break down the data by objective. Hope this helps! 🙂
When you’re teaching a skill errorlessly, do you include the data point that was errorless in your graphs? For example, I am teaching letter ID errorlessly for 3 days in a row, then probe it the 4th day onward. Do I include the days I did errorless teaching or just the probed days? I’m thinking I just present the probed days but I’m confusing myself 🙂
Depends! You’d definitely want to note if it’s a prompted or unprompted response. For the errorless learning days you could have a different column (and color on the graph) for prompted responses and then have the independent responses have its own row.
