A Look into the Roll & Graph

Today we are continuing our VLOG printable series with the Roll & Graph.  This activity is designed to introduce your child to data collection and interpretation. I ended up creating 2 videos Roll & Graph ~ Set Up and In Action.

Setting it Up

I will briefly touch on setting up our spinner for the Spin & Graph at the end of the video, so don’t miss it.

As, I mentioned in the video we use photo cubes, which I ordered through Amazon. Here are the all of supplies we may use when doing this activity.

In Action

A couple of things to remember:

• Get kids moving by throwing the die down the hallway or down stairs.
• Make sure you bars are different colors for easier reading.
• Once you’ve completed the graph (first item to # of choice), make sure to ask simple questions. 
  • Which color is taller? What item is that? 
  • Which color is shorter? Which item is that?
  • How many times did we give the (item) a sticker?
• Make sure to show them how to use the graph, instead of just counting the stickers.

Hope this helps when graphing!
