Students bring in their favorite color apple and graph the results. Included in this attachment is a ready-made parent letter and a ready-to-use graph for students to graph the class results. Use this lesson in the fall (September 26th is Johnny Appleseed's birthday) to introducing graphs and math language like "more than," "less than," "equal," etc.

Students choose their favorite color Easter Egg (and decorate it too!). Students will collect data using tally marks, then they will organize the data into a representational bar graph. There are simple questions to answer to assess how they analyze the data. Included: Lesson outline, egg pattern, tally boxes, bar graph, questions. CCSS.Math.Content.1.MD.C.4 Organize, represent, and interpret data with up to three categories; ask and answer questions about the total number of data points, how

Survey the class giving them 2 options. (ie: Are you right-handed or left-handed? Do you like Winter or Summer better? Do you like white chocolate or milk chocolate better?). Use tally marks to record each student's response. Transfer that data to this ready-made graph. Students write a title and labels, analyze the class data to create a bar graph, then answer simple questions. The graph is generic enough to use with any 2 choice survey question, but detailed enough to be effective. (There are

Each calling card has a simple math problem to solve. Once students solve the problem, they mark the number on their LUCKY card. Math includes: tallies, doubles, basic addition, place value, etc.
