Graphing Activities for Math Centers

Kids love graphing when it involves rolling a cube. Math becomes so much more interesting when you turn it into a game!

To prep the math center graphing activities, simply print, laminate and cut apart the cube inserts.

You could also slip the graphing paper into a write & wipe page protector to save time.

Place the cube insert pictures into your differentiated instruction cube. (I seriously could not teach without mine, I use them all.the.time.)

Then, have the kids roll the cube and graph the results. Finish rolling when one column reaches the top of the graph.

You can use a dry erase crayon to fill the graph or grab your favorite winter mini erasers.

Low-Prep Graphing Activity

This low-prep graphing activity is great when you are short on prep time.

So basically every day…

Just print & go with this fun color graphing activity for winter.

Create a quick spinner with the use of a pencil and paper clip. Just hold the pencil down on the middle of the spinner on the paper, through the paper clip, and spin the paper clip. The pencil will hold the paper clip down and it becomes a super simple and brilliant spinner.

Whichever color the spinner lands on is what the students will color the first mitten. Spin again to find the color for the next mitten, repeat until all of the mittens are colored. Next, have the students graph the colors.

Whole Classroom Graphing Activity

This set has everything you will need to engage your class or small group in a larger graphing experiment.

First, print out the dice, labels and graphing cards.

Place the labels in the top of your pocket chart and insert the images for the dice into your differentiated instruction cube.

Have you seen these magnetic pocket charts? Perfect for attaching to a whiteboard for a quick activity without adding extra clutter to your room.

Then, have each child take a turn rolling the cube and graphing the picture that they roll.

As a class or small group, discuss the results:

• Which picture was rolled the most?
• Which picture was rolled the least?
• Were any two pictures rolled the same amount of time?
• If you try the activity again, will you get the same results?
