Graphing Printables lessons and more k-3

We do a graph a week in my classroom (starting in October). I have a bulletin board (like the one above) set-up as a graphing center. There is a ziploc baggie on the right hand side for center manipulative (which are changed weekly) and a place under the board to store the center activity sheet for the week. Friday after school I set the graph up for the week. On Monday the students complete the class graph as part of their morning routine. Monday after we go over the daily activities, we breifly discuss the graph as a class. I also display the weekly graphing center sheet each student must complete. Monday through Friday the graph is left up and it becomes one of the centers for the week. I create a weekly graphing center sheet for each student to fill out independently as a center activity. On Friday during circle time we discuss the weekly graphing center sheet as a class. I have all my materials premade for 30 graphs and all I have to do is stick it up in my pocket chart or on a bulletin board. It is super easy for me and the students benefit by gaining the graphing skills they will need in life and on the standarized tests. The students enjoy this center!!!

Once the graph is finished, each student should fill out a center sheet as
seen above.

Put a different colored star sticker on all sides of a wooden block/cube. Give each student a sheet of paper lined off to show columns. Put each of the six stickers at the bottom of a column. Students will roll dice to see which sticker they roll the most of in 10 minutes. As they roll a certain sticker, the students should put an X beside the sticker they rolled. After a few minutes is up, the children will count the number of X's in each column. The column with the most X's wins. Discuss results of individual graph as a class.

A pocket chart works well.	Put magets on the pieces and use a magnetic whiteboard. Velcro works well on a bulletin board or a display board that can be purchased at your local office supply store.	Here is a graph in a pocket chart.
