So my math curriculum this year is pretty weak and I find that I need to supplement a lot. Isn't that the worst, though I am always thankful when it is a weak math curriculum as I find that the easiest to supplement. Anyways a couple of weeks ago the lesson was to make a giant bar graph with the kids on the number of pockets they had and then to ask questions about the bar graph. To which I felt the prep took more time than the actually lesson. So I set out to find more activities for my kids to do and I could find many so I decided to make my own.
This simple activity requires this worksheet, dice, and crayons for each child.
This worksheet and a longer description can be found by clicking the link below.
Roll and Record
Here are some pictures of my kids playing the game.
After playing it my kids got the concept pretty quick after modeling it for them. The only problem I found was the 2 of my kids completed the worksheet upside.
I also found this free pirate graphing activity from the Kindergarten Smorgasboard. It takes a little more prep but my kids are obsessed with pirates so it was worth the extra effort so some fun graphing practice.
