Gingerbread Graph and Predict

These activities are meant to accompany a classroom taste testing of gingerbread cookies to allow students the chance to predict outcomes, gather data, and compare prediction to the real outcome and compare data. They will have to use terms like more than, less than, greater than, less than, equal to.

The prediction page asks kids to predict how many people will like gingerbread and if that number will be more or less than those who do not like gingerbread. It compares this to real collected data after testing.

There is a page to graph cookie testing data according to those who like gingerbread and those who don't. It looks at which group is greater.

The next page asks students to look at how many more kids liked gingerbread through pictures and word sentences as well as how many less kids did not like gingerbread.

What better way to incorporate graphing and data collection than in eating gingerbread! Download it here.

Stoplight Comprehension Check

I use the three page poster above on my “math wall”. I use it to teach the idea of doting your page. Whenever we introduce a new idea or review an idea I get the students to “dot the page” by putting a colored dot in the corner of their page. This allows me to quickly see who need individual or small group help before moving on and allows students time to reflect on their learning.

The small image to the side I laminate and put on the board as a visual reminder after we have practiced this step in class a few times.

You can use the colored dots on the next page for students to put on their desks as they work independently. If you are conferencing or are otherwise busy a student can put a yellow or red dot card on their desk so you know they need help without raising their hand or voice to get your attention. Laminate them and keep them somewhere accessible to make your life easier! You can download it here.
