Birthday Picture Graph

I wanted to display the student's birthdays in the classroom so I decided to have the students help to make a picture graph. I had introduced graphing last term so I thought this would be a good way to review what we had already learnt.

Students were asked to colour in a cupcake. I also coloured one, as did my Education Assistant. I had an axis drawn on the chalkboard and students helped me to name the axis. They placed their cupcakes in the appropriate positions and we discussed the data we had collected. Students then completed a worksheet where they used the data to create a bar graph and answer questions about our data.

I then laminated the cupcakes and placed them on display in the classroom.
