To use the graph:
Roll the die.
Place one sticker on the graph in the column that matches the animal rolled on the die.
Repeat until one column is filled to the top.
Graphing helps with essential skills in preschool such as:
- Counting
- Comparing numbers
- Addition (by adding the total number of things graphed)
You can also work on language skills by introducing word such as:
- More
- Less
- Equal (same)
- Overall
- Most
- Least
- Animal names & sounds
You don’t only have to learn which color gets rolled the most, you can also compare between two other graph columns to determine:
“Which animal had more rolls than the cow?”
“Which two animals had the least?”
“Which animal had more rolls than horse and pig combined?”
There are so many great opportunities to learn with such a simple activity!
