Don’t Let Insects Bug You Freebie

,

I really really want to tell you what I got my Mom for Mother’s Day, but alas, I cannot cause she reads my blog. Not every day mind you, but I can’t take the chance that she might. So, you’ll have to wait, but it’s so, so nice and I kinda had to make a part of it and that’s what I want to tell/show you…Anyway, I will soon, promise.

I just finished up a little freebie for y’all. It’s insect themed and will give your kids some addition and graphing practice. If you end up downloading it, I wanted to explain that for both graphing activities, there is a rectangular box, sort of off to the side. I use this so that my kids write down every person’s initials in the class first and then as they ask each person, they write the answer down and then cross the name off. Have you ever watched kids very excited to go around with their little clipboards asking the survey question then they forget who they asked and the graph just doesn’t add up. Been there, done that! Not anymore though. I tell my kids now that their graphs need to reflect the number of kids in the class and when they do it correctly, it does add up. I’m tough aren’t I?  But, seriously though, they rise to the challenge. You can click on any of these pics to download.

Head on over to Freebielicious for more great ideas.

    I LOVE this! I super LOVE that you included a place for kids to record who they asked! I've had the same problem with numbers not matching up. Peace out!

      Thanks Angie 🙂 My kids do much better with graphs when they record the names or initials first. There are still a few sweeties who forget something, but it's so much easier to have them fix their mistakes this way. Glad it could help you:)
