A graphing activity which allows students to work independently of the teacher and the textbook is described. The activity involves providing data in order to develop the skills necessary for interpreting the collected information. (JT)

Reasons for having students make graphs are noted. Then specific graphing topics and materials appropriate for young learners are presented, including life-sized, floor, clothespin, felt-face, block, and magnetic graphs, and polls of pupils. (MNS)

Graphs are used to help students keep records of their scores as they learn the basic facts. (MNS)

Three examples of graphing-and-predicting activities that can be used with elementary school children are described. (DT)

This activity unit provides an example of how the construction and interpretation of graphs can be incorporated into elementary classroom activities. (MP)

Outlined is the preparation and use of graph paper for activities in counting' approximation, making bar graphs, and decimals. (MP)

Activities described for using zucchini to teach measurement include: guessing, graphing, and measuring length and weight; comparing sizes and shapes; and puzzles. (MP)

Considering a fraction as directions for graphing a line through the origin of the x-y plane is suggested. Strengths and weaknesses of the idea are also discussed. (MNS)

Experiences in collecting and handling data are described. Activities dealing with measures of central tendency (including a computer program), measures of dispersion, an introduction to correlation, and use of graphs to display data are illustrated. (MNS)

Grid paper activities are discussed as a way to help students conceptualize fractions. (MP)

Activities are suggested for setting up a mathematics center for a week or more at a time. The activities relate to weight, counting, puzzles, length, graphing, and ordering. (MP)

This discussion of the mathematical potential of classroom events gives many examples of incidents that can be used for learning about topics such as one-to-one correspondence, counting, sets, ordering, time, fractions, money, shape, estimation, measuring, volume, area, number operations, and graphs. (MP)

Using data about companies with which children have first-hand experience (such as McDonald's or Mattel Toys) piques interest in graphing activities. How the project is developed, with group and individual activities, is described. (MNS)
