Computer Graphing for K-1 - Count the Lucky Shamrocks!

This graphing activity is a great way to differentiate and meet the needs of all your students as they count and sort five different shamrocks into groups and record their numbers on tally sheets. When the data is entered in their spreadsheet, a cute pictograph is automatically generated!

Not only does the technology ''up" the level of your instruction, it can be easily differentiated. Students who might need additional support can be given fewer types of pictures to sort and/or count, while more advanced students can be challenged with more to count and sort.

****************************************************************************************************************************************************

The preformatted spreadsheet is included as both an Excel file and a Google Sheets file! There is no work to do to set up the autogenerated graph! Your students will love as they see the puppies appear in their graphs as they enter data.

This is a great addition to any classroom teacher’s instruction or center as well as in the elementary computer lab.
