Graphing Activity - MAY

Graphing activities for the month of May

Plotting Coordinate Points for days in May...

May Day/Mother’sDay - Flower

National Lost Sock Day May 9 - Sock

Cinco de Mayo- Mexican Hombre

National Bike Month- bicycle

May 23 is World Turtle Day - Turtle

This resource includes five mystery pictures created by plotting coordinate pairs in all four quadrants. All graphs involve positive and negative integers.

Your students will be challenged to plot carefully in order to create the “math art.”

The five pictures include

GraphA - Flower (30+ coordinate pairs)

GraphB - Sock (30+ coordinate pairs) -- see note below

GraphC - Mexican Hombre (80+ coordinate pairs)

GraphD - Bike (60+ coordinate pairs)

GraphE - Turtle (60+ coordinate pairs)

Samples of completed graphs are also included.

I've been asked, "Why is there a sock in May?"

May 9 is Lost Sock Memorial Day - a day to pay tribute to all those single socks that have lost a mate. Look it up or have the students research socks in May.

(also Down Syndrome Day in March uses socks to promote awareness).
