This week we began learning about graphs. On Tuesday, we made a graph that represented the types of shoes everyone in the class were wearing. Everyone had to go up to the front of the class and model their shoes. Then, as a class, we decided whether they were wearing tennis shoes, slip-on shoes, or boots. Lastly, each student was required to color the appropriate box, on the graph, to represent the type of shoes he or she was wearing!
When it was Ms. Higdon's turn to model her shoes, La'Shawn knew exactly which type of shoes she was wearing!
Claire needed a little assistance getting her shoe on the table to be modeled! She informed the class that she was wearing tennis shoes!
Then, she colored the appropriate box on the graph representing her shoes!
La'Shawn greatly enjoyed this opportunity to "throw out the rules" and put his feet on the table. He also informed the class that he was wearing tennis shoes.
Then, he also colored in the appropriate box on the graph!
After everyone modeled their shoes and all of the appropriate boxes on the graph were colored, we counted the boxes in each category. Then, we determined which type of shoes more people in our class were wearing as well as which type of shoes less people in our class were wearing.
All of the students in our class really enjoyed this lesson and learned a lot about graphs from it!
