To prep: Print the die and graph paper. Laminate the graph, so that it can be used multiple times. Cut out the die.
Fold the die template on the dotted lines and form into a cube. Use the tape to hold it together.

To use: Roll the die and put one game marker on the graph to show what was rolled. Continue until one of the columns reaches the top.
Because the die is so lightweight, it helps to give it a gentle toss up into the air to make it spin. My daughter loves that part!

After one of the animals has reached the top, have your child record the data in a notebook or on a piece of paper. You can do the activity several times, like we did with the coin toss, to see if you get different results. You can then discuss with your child why the results changed. This is a good introduction to probability.

You can also guide your child with questions about the data:
“Which animal was rolled the most?”
“Which animal was rolled the least?”
“Did any animals have equal amounts?”
“Did any animals not have any rolls?”

When I printed these the bouckround and Graphing squares all printed black but doesn’t show that way on the print preview screen. Any ideas why this would be?
This is almost always because you are using Preview on a Mac. I recommend using Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat instead.
This is super cute! We even have these acorns!
