Izzie was introduced to graphing last week and she really liked it! So, since she's interested in graphing, we'll do more graphing!
I borrowed some of the magnetic pieces from this book...
And had Izzie sort them by color on the large white board. We talked about how many were in each column and which color-column had the most and least.
Then, I created a super simple graph and had her fill in the data. While looking at the graph, she was able to tell me how many of each color there was and again, which color had the most and least. Simple...but, she's already learning how to read the y-axis and x-axis, and doesn't even realize it!! Love it!
