When Ava starts a new chapter in math, the teacher sends home a workesheet explaining what they will be learning and some activities that we can do at home to reinforce the learning. Yesterday Ava stayed home from school because she has been sick with a cold and minor stomach bug, but by the afternoon she was feeling a lot better so I put her to work sorting things out and making graphs. She made a bar graph showing all the differant colors in the living room. She first collected her data (things that are red, blue and green) on a chart and then she made her graph. Then I gave her about 20 articles of her clothing to sort into shirts, pants and dresses, which she then drew onto a picture graph. She really had a fun afternoon. When she was done with these two activities, she went on to make many more of her own graphs. Today she is feeling better and back in school.
