Learning About Graphing

Graphing activities for preschoolers
ASKING STUDENTS TO ANALYZE THE DATA IS AN IMPORTANT STEP ONCE THE OBJECT GRAPH IS COMPLETE. STUDENTS CAN ANSWER QUESTIONS LIKE:
  • 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?

Kindergarten graphing worksheets are a great way to show and share information and practice graphing skills in a fun, visual activity.

If you are using these activities in a classroom, start with introducing these activities as a whole group. Afterwards you can follow up with small groups or individually.

Use these adorable winter graphing worksheets for kindergarten in math centers or even during small group lessons.

In addition to learning about graphing lessons for kindergarten, here are some more ideas for what you can teach about analyzing data:

  • Why do we need this information?
  • How can we use the results?
  • What does this tell us about numbers?
  • How can we use graphs in real life?

Why Is It Important For Kids To Graph?

Besides providing numerical information and relationships, graphing can benefit kids in different ways and encourage other math skills.

Most vs. Least

A visual graph can show children which item has the most and which has the least without counting the exact objects.

Sorting

Children will have to match the same objects and determine which is similar and which is different.

One-to-One Correspondence

This activity will help kids correctly count several objects and assign a number to each one they count.

Compare and Contrast

Kids will be able to compare what is alike within the graph and what is different in the graph.

How To Use These Winter Graphing Activities for Kindergarten

Graphing games and lesson plans

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.

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.

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

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?
