Gift Graphing Activity
A fun holiday-inspired graphing activity.
Use this resource in your classroom when practicing data analysis with your students.

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.
