Whiteboards and magnetic boards are those with a glossy surface, commonly white in color, where non- permanent markings are made with the use of special felt pens.

This is a piece of plywood or heavy cardboard covered with either felt, flannel or carpet.

In creating a hook and loop board, a plywood or heavy cardboard is covered with a nylon loop material and the nylon hooks are adhered on the back of the instructional materials to be displayed on the board.

Pegboards are made of tempered masonite with 1/8-inch holes drilled 1 inch apart. These boards are used in displaying three-dimensional objects or heavy materials with the use of hooks inserted into the board.

Bulletin boards are generally not used directly in instruction but tend to be a supplement. These boards are usually designed as an instructional device that can carry a message without the presence of a teacher.

A gannt chart is an activity time chart that illustrates the start and finish dates of a certain activity or project.

Graphs show quantitative data. These kinds of graphics make analysis and interpretation of numerical information easier.

They are used when plotting trends of relationships between series of data. It shows the progress over a period of time.

Bar graphs are the simplest and easiest to read. The data are presented in horizontal or vertical bars. While the widths of the bars are the same, it’s length represents the amount or percentage data.

The sections of these kinds of graphs represent the parts of a whole. These graphs always present whole amounts and its parts are calculated in percentage or fractional parts.

They are used to compare several related totals thru the use of geometric shapes.

These graphs utilize related pictures or drawings to show numerical data. It is an adaptation of the bar graph.

Are intended to show relationships or to help explain a process, how something works or how something is constructed. Diagrams rely heavily on symbols that is why they are highly abstract that most of the time support materials are needed to give users the necessary background information.

This is used in a nonlinear activity wherein ideas, images, and feelings are generated around a stimulus word. It helps students see patterns in their ideas and help systematize the generation of ideas based upon a central topic.

This diagram illustrates the stages of an event, the actions of a character or the steps in a procedure.

A fishbone map is used to show causal interaction of a complex event (like a nuclear explosion) or a complex phenomenon (like learning disabilities).

A cycle illustrates how series of events interact to produce a set of results such as the life cycle.

A diagram that is used to show similarities and differences.

A Venn diagram is used to show relationships between sets, similarities and differences between characters, stories or poem. It enables the students to visually organize similarities and differences.

Maps are representations of the Earth’s surface or a part of it.

A. Political Maps They show territories and boundaries. B. Physical Maps They show data like altitude, temperature, rainfall, precipitation, vegetation, and soil. C. Commercial or Economic Maps They show a variety of information like the economic produce of the different regions.

Resembling a small whiteboard, this stationary item is supported by a four- legged easel or tripod and several sheets of paper are hinged at the upper edge of the chart. Marker pens are used to write text as well as figures and charts. A sheet can then be flipped over to present information sequentially or for one to continue to a new page.

The generic term picture includes any kind of opaque representation of visual images which includes drawings, photographs, pictures in books and magazines, or any medium open to the artists interpretation. The term photograph only includes those images that were recorded by camera and is usually an exact representation of the original. All photographs are pictures but not all pictures are photographs.
