Hey Everyone! I wanted to share with you a little activity that is going on in our math classroom as we wrap up graphs. I can not tell you how much it makes this reading teachers' heart happy when I can use a picture book to tie in a lesson in math. I just love going across the curriculum for my activities.
Anyway here is what we did:
We listened to our story: I had a copy of the book on hand but you can easily find a read aloud on You Tube. :) Next, we broke up into small groups and each group had a bag containing these graphs printed on cardstock and the manipulatives to create pictographs on their own. Each student also had a copy of the mini book which I would collect later for a grade and then add it to their interactive notebooks.
While they are working on their graphs and reviewing their skills they have learned this gives me the opportunity to work with those students who may still be struggling with different concepts on each of the graphs.
Once our math center time is completed the students will turn into to me their finished books. They look like this:
So cute and a great way to add a grade to my gradebook for math. This is perfect for small group math centers.
