Graphing Through the Final Four

March Madness is about to come to a close and for many of us or brackets are busted.  For some our teams have lost, while others have battled hard to stay in game. 

I personally am not a big basketball fan, but that won’t keep my boys from watching it. 

To make it a bit more interesting,  I’ve created a new Ask & Graph!!

Basketball Ask and Graph

Is you team still fighting? Who are you hoping goes all the way?

Graphing Through the Super Bowl

I’m sure many of you are aware of the BIG game that is happening this weekend…well at least all you American football fans out there.  My husband is stoked!  His beloved Broncos have a chance to take it all home.  football familyWe will all be decked out in our Orange & Blue rooting for, as my husband would say, “the greatest football team in the history of mankind.” (No disrespect to any Seahawks fans.)

To bring a little education and fun to Sunday’s festivities, I’ve created a new Ask & Graph!!  (The very first is apart of the Groundhog Mini unit.)

Football Ask and Graph

I’m pretty sure our graph will be pretty tilted. 

Looking for more ideas?

Who are you rooting for?

Magnet Pages

Since we haven’t done magnet pages in awhile, I decided to go ahead and make some more for you.

   Baseball Magnet Pages   G is for Glove     
Click to Download 4 magnet pages.

You can use several different things with your magnet pages. Do-a-Dot Paints work great, but then you’ll only get one use out of them.  I recommend laminating the pages and using Bingo Chips, Power Magnets or homemade pom-pom magnets with them.

Hope you’re a “fan” of these ideas.
