Gift Graphing Activity

PDF | 2 pages|Grades: 1 - 3

A fun holiday-inspired graphing activity.

Use this resource in your classroom when practicing data analysis with your students.

Students gather data from their classmates and create a pictograph using the results. Then, they must generate a word problem using the information from their graph. Afterwards, gather up the graphing pages and display one under the document camera each day for the whole class to complete as a math warm-up!

This resource makes a great math center activity in the weeks leading up to the winter holidays.
