My student made the game from the Fur Traders book in the Robert Livesey History Series. These books are full of activities. Neat activities.
Also pictured is a Donna Ward book that keeps it simple and provides short reading passages with questions.

More Data Collecting
My students visited JK and SK and recorded their data. Then they used the website Create a Graph from Kids Zone to play around with different graphs using the data. It was great for getting across the different ways you can represent your information AND it was fun!
Data Collecting
This picture looks funny to me – like the two kids staring out the window on a rainy day at the start of the book The Cat in the Hat. What is actually happening is two math students are collecting data about the types of vehicles that drive past our school in the morning. It’s amazing the involvement, concentration and analyzing that happens in this type of activity – despite being self proclaimed ‘math haters’. I laugh (on the inside of course so that it doesn’t show) when they ask if they can quickly finish their math work so that they can do more data collecting !
