1st Grade Math Catholic Themed Worksheet Pictograph
I LOVE to teach graphing. It is, by far, one of my favorite math units. It's such an interactive unit, and it can be so much fun for your students. Like most things, it is what you make it. There are a million and one worksheets for graphing: reading graphs, coloring graphs, answering questions, etc. You know what I mean. They're boring. Here are a few ideas to get your kids up and moving around and really into graphing. Class Graphs I begin teaching each type of graph by making a class graph. My curriculum teaches bar graph, pictograph, and line plot. I get the kids up and gluing straight onto the graph. They come up with the title and then form questions or write statements about the graph. Make it theirs. It doesn't always have to be Pinterest-worthy. Everyone takes ownership over the graph. Class Surveys Do you let your kids survey one another to collect data? If not, please start doing this! It is so fun! I have a survey packet that I've used for years. It's not fancy, and it was created by a creative colleague of mine. You'll have to teach them how to survey one another. Specifically, they cannot just ask, "What do you like?" or "Which one?" That's not what a mathematician does. Ask, "Which of the following do you like best?" Scoop and Graph or Grab and Graph This is such a fun activity. I love to use colored pom-poms, because, rainbow. #rainbowtizeitall You can use Unifix cubes, coins, buttons, whatever you have. I do a scoop and graph as a class, and then I put out the materials for center work. Fill a container with whatever manipulative you're graphing. Add a Dixie cup for scooping, or just grab a handful. Slip a graphing sheet into a wipe-off sleeve, and you're set. So fun! You can grab my Scoop and Graph activity here. Dollar Spot Erasers I know you all buy those cute little erasers in the Dollar Spot at Target. We're all Target teachers. If you're not, then you're probably much I can't resist them! There's so many things that you can do with them, but erasing isn't one of them. LOL! I put a handful in baggies, and then let students graph them. This is also a great center. You can download my recording sheet here. It's for Valentine's Day, but Pin it for next year.

Yes... I know this is not a pictograph.... read on... Now although the images here are not a pictograph, they are petroglyphs which very few know of the location... This panel was shown to me by my good friend Greg... Even though I knew I was not the first in recent times, the thrill when you finally get there and see them for the first time is something I cannot describe.... Please enjoy the following pictures... But THIS IS NOT the pictograph panel found this morning by myself, and with the help of D-stretch... this is such an awesome tool! I was going through some photos taken last year, and as always I take pictures of EVERYTHING, even if it is barely visible... as I was going through the pictures I noticed barely a faint red line of antiquity... apparently I had seen it in person or I would not have taken the picture... I decide to take a closer look using D-Stretch and holy Sh...! er um... wow!... what is that? I thought... HELLO! I can't wait to share it but I am going to try to digitally reconstruct the Image, with the help of Coty Tabbee now on his way to the site to get more pictures, we will see if reconstruction is possible.... The thrill of finding your first panel is one thing... but to find a panel, that you know no one has seen in hundreds of years and yet literally hundreds if not thousands have walked right by it... is a whole other thrill.... Be patient and I will share it when I have a presentation of it prepared... Many thanks to Coty Tabee and Rhett Rhiding... And my sweet Amy who I am sure took the picture because I told her to take pictures of EVERYTHING... I'm not sure I ever seen it... Prior to finding this one, which I am sure some have seen... those who put forth a little more effort... I simply followed that gut feeling... and common sense while following what I call locator glyphs Had I not followed the instruction of what I call locator glyphs, this one would still be unknown...
