Graphing Sheets

LessonPix allows users to create graphing pages with your choice of pictures and words for various graphing lessons. Here are some great ideas for using graphing sheets to teach and practice graphing skills.

Snack Math: Snack time can turn into a fun and simple math lesson. Create graphing pages in LessonPix using pictures of snack foods and laminate. Give each child a small paper cup with the matching snack and have the children sort and count the different snack items. Snacks to graph may include....Trail Mix (ie: raisins, nuts, m&m's)

• Goldfish Crackers Colors (red, green, orange, yellow)
