Unit 10
Energizers (5 min)
Class movement activities counting backwards starting at any number 20 or less (stretches, hops, jumping jacks, twists, rope climbs, fluff arms, hand over hand side claps. marches, tip toe steps, squats, toe touches)
Opening: Selfie Graphing Picture Graph
- Need: selfie tracer, construction paper (optional: google eyes, yarn, fabric, wrapping paper)
- Students create their selfie (or use the one that they made in unit 05).
- At the beginning of class each day, teacher asks a question (or writes one in a speech bubble next to the graphing area).
- Students place the selfie to make a picture graph.
- TEACHER QUESTIONING: What do you notice about the data? (possible response: 7 kids liked fall best; 4 students wore sandals today, etc) What do you notice between the data? (more students like music than art).
Optional Unit 10 Activities
Graphing Shoes
Bring students together and ask each of them to let you borrow one shoe.
Display the shoes for the class to see.
Ask students if they can help you sort the shoes into categories (tennis shoes, boots, sandals, etc.).
Once the shoes are sorted, ask students if they think you could build a graph using the shoes.
Show the students a giant piece of butcher paper with the x and y axis labeled.
Ask students to help you place the shoes on the graph to represent the categories.
Once the shoes are graphed, begin to ask students questions about the data. (What type of shoe are most kids wearing? What type of shoe are the least amount of kids wearing? How many more _____ shoes than _____ shoes?)
Extension: Students can create their own two or three category picture graphs when given a selection of pictures to sort. They must determine how to sort the pictures, name the categories, and organize the data.
Sorting Boxes
- Follow up to the button box. (could be done in a work station or as a guided math station or both.)
- Need 10 or less of the items for the sorting box: Buttons (ask students to bring from home) other items that can be sorted: rocks, seeds, cereal, pencils, books, backpacks, bear counters, plastic bugs, erasers, crayons, makers, letters, or shapes.
- Items are placed in containers. Students sort the items and justify the sorting, create a picture graph, and a real-object graph.
- Student writes sentences about the data: by the data (most people ________, between the data (more people chose _____ than ________).
Which Has more?
Directions and graphing template available here: https://www.k-5mathteachingresources.com/support-files/which-has-more-ver.1.pdf
Counting Cloth Graphing
- need: a pice of fabric, wrapping paper, or article of clothing with a design.
- Students drop a circle (weaving hoop, hula hoop for large pieces, or cut out circle) onto the fabric or wrapping paper. Keep the circle size to allow only 10 or less objects to be shown inside the circle.
- Students tally the different objects in the circle (stars, rafael ninja turtle, pink flower, etc) and count. Can use a large piece of fabric (or quilt) with a hoola hoop
- Students create tally's
- Create a picture graph with the data.

Literature Connection:
Who Do you Believe?
Students decide which side of the story that they believe and color in a picture of a pig or a wolf, and place the picture on the class picture graph. They can also add a writing sample of why they believe the pigs or the wolf.
Ask questions about the class graph.

3. Review/Preview:
- Shape Exploration: Place a large amount of pattern blocks (circles, triangles, rectangles, squares) . Have students use a ladle to scoop out shapes. The students can sort the shapes, then create a picture graph of the shapes they scooped. They can ask questions to their group members about the picture graphs they have created.
Fluency:
- This is a great opportunity to use any of the activities listed in the previous content previews that your students need additional practice with.
- I love math (Group of students, One student walks around and plays a round with each student, then sits down and next student goes)
- Salute (one more, one less than your number)
- Rolling dice (double, sum to 10, ten more, roll 2 and build a two digit number)
- Draw a card, build a number with manipulatives, draw, and write the number.
Closing:
- Class Share with predictable chart
- Class Journal
- Personal journal
- Partner talks
- Self assessment
