Provide several opportunities throughout the day for children to look at. Create a graphing activity out of an everyday experience. Ask your students how many of them ride the bus to school, how many walk and how many ride in their parent's cars. Use the responses to create a bar graph. Give all students a chance to provide input on the best way to create the graph, the colors to use to represent the different groups, and any other information necessary to create your graph. Allow the students the draw the graph, as well as to use markers to color it. Display it prominently in your classroom.
Create a pictograph. Give each child a marker, such as a cutout of a bumblebee or a bear, with a piece of masking tape on the back. Write the day's lunch choices on the board, as well as a column labelled "lunchbox from home". Children can place their markers under their lunch choice for the day, creating a simple pictograph. Review the graph with your class by counting the number of votes in each column and comparing the results.
Create a daily graphing experience. As an art project, have each child create a paper plate that resembles their face using colored yarn for hair, markers and other materials for their faces. Have the children write their names on their plates in case you have two or more similar plates. Each morning, write a question on the board and lay the plate faces on a table. The questions should have two answer choices such as: "Do you like dogs or cats more?" or "Which season is your favorite -- Winter or Summer?". Each morning, the children will read the question, decide which answer they like and place their face in the correct spot. Later in the day, discuss the results of the graph with your class.
