Graphing

      We have been learning about the different types of tools that community helpers use to help them complete their jobs. Last week, each student got a picture of a tool. Pictures of four different community helpers were posted around the room. The students had to stand next to the community helper that matched the tool picture that they had. When everyone had sorted themselves, we tried to determine which group had more/fewer people. It was a little confusing to count, so we lined up and made a "people graph", using the squares on the carpet. The next day we took the pictures and then made a floor graph. We duplicated the floor graph on paper and talked about the graph in terms of more/fewer/same.
