This week the students have been making real graphs using real items. On Friday we made a shoe graph. The children sat around the graphing mat with their shoes off and then graphed them according to types of fasteners. They decided on three categories: velcro, laces, and slip ons. Based on the data, the children made several observations about the types of shoes we had in division 1.
Next, the students drew their shoes.
These pictures were then glued onto a massive sheet of paper to make a picture graph. You can see the graph hanging in the gym. The final step will be to transfer that information onto a bar graph. By doing this, they see that data can be displayed in many different ways.
