      Even the young kids I care for can give their opinion of what they like and don’t like so we use graphing quite often. Everyone can give their answer and we mark it on the graph. I make graphs with both words and pictures for the age group I work with.

      This book encompasses math all over. It went from seasons to times of day to shapes to counting items. I immediately thought about graphing and documenting some items. They each talked about their favorite things and what they like so much and there were a lot of favorite things. we can use a diagram and paper to chart how many items they liked and then chart if the kids like those items as well. At the end we could add them up and see which one had more.

      loving the data collection with healthy snacks. my son is a picky eater and this may be something fun to try with him that may help him explore. also will be ordering the Guess who my favorite person is book.

      I am inspired in the current climate of reopening of designing individual square gardening areas so that they can play, work and social distance. They can observe and collect data about each others garden. They can us tally marks to count vegetable blossoms, color differences, and size differences. The older children can certainly talk about their favorite things in length. I could facilitate this by adding a few single size natural benches near the garden.

        Awesome. I just created my own square foot garden and never thought about it helping with social distancing. I will post a picture in the facebook page.

      I hadn’t considered including hands-on data collection in my workshops so that has given me something to think about. I found to large pieces of wood to create a diagram and spent a few happy hours taking photos of natural items I have stored in my garage placed in the 4 quadrants.

      My time lapse of the beans is finally taking off. It has been interesting to see that different kinds of beans take different time lengths to sprout.

      I have been cooking soups with beans and root vegetables and taken photos of the process.

      Many hours of work so less time for posts and responses.

      I think that with my toddlers I could introduce a couple new foods at lunch and talk about what they think is the favorite of the group, how many of each they’ve eaten and then do a graph showing each later.

      We have done a lot of graphs and diagrams on paper. I am very excited to try this 3D graphing activity when school opens. We have done graphing with cut up store flyers to graph Healthy, not healthy foods.

      I am very excited about the ladder diagram! Could even see implementing this indoors as well (if the weathers not so great). I like the idea of giving each child a square to work with.

      We collected data all month during lunch time one year. We tracked the kids of foods the kids brought for lunch and we had a color coded chart going. We talked about protein, carbs, vegetables, fruit and treats and each child would go over their lunch and tally which food groups they had. This led to many great conversations about our food choices, what keeps us fueled and what kinds of foods might be missing from our diets. I made a point to bring veggies and fruits (mostly berries) from my garden to encourage children to eat more healthy stuff. At the end, we tallied and graphed the results, used great math vocabulary and displayed the final graph for families to see!

      I really like the diagram activity in the square frame. I think it will get the children thinking and maybe even a scavenger hunt is in store for this activity! I wanted to know what the picture of sticks with colored ends represented. Tallying favorite snack foods and graphing the results would be fun. Thought I’d look for the “Favorite Person” book at the library.

      My preschoolers enjoyed playing renditions of this game. We took turns asking about different trees, princesses and dinosaurs. I am eager to find an old wooden ladder!

      Closer to mothers day our students will plant little flowering plants to take home. This will start with the counting out of seeds and planting them. Making sure they are watered everyday and observing any changes. Our hope is that when each student takes these gifts home they( will have some kind of bud sprouting) will continue to observe any changes and share them with us at school.

      I really love the idea of making diagrams and sorting what we find outdoors. My students do a lot of “nature walks” and observing of the environment around our school. As we have been learning about leaves and how/why they change and fall in the autumn time, I would love to have my students do a leaf hunt. Then inside our classroom, we could organize the leaves into a 4 square diagram of green, not green, big, not big. We could also see if there was any connection between big or small leaves that are changing already. For example, maybe the big oak leaves are still green while the small Ginkgo leaves have already changed. Excited to give it a try!

        Yea!! An inspiration for your nature walks. Have you ever thought of creating diagrams with chalk on the blacktop? This is really fun too. They can be life-size or smaller groups can make their own. Have fun.

      We do data collection by counting the seeds we plant and then the seeds that actually sprout and 5hen 5he plants that produce, also how much each plant produces. We also graph the foods we try and the ones we like.

        Very cool! I love how you compare from how many seeds you plant to how many sprouts you actually got. AND how many that plant produced. Brilliant. Do you do the graphing on paper? I wonder if there are different ways to graph using natural materials? Kinda cool to think about. Do your kids use scientific journals?

          Some graphing on papar some using natural materials to make our graphs. Like the item we are comparing or an item to represent what we are collecting data on. We don’t yet, I am hoping to atleast star a class one soon.
