Tranportation math

I discovered that Mrs. Vicki has some really awesome transportation counters with accompanying graphing charts.  The kids were able to chart different color cars, trucks, etc.  

Graphs are such a neat way to build mathematical reasoning skills in the kids.  We did this with the cars today, but we've also done it when discussing different modes of transportation (this chart is not pictured).  We'll do activities periodically this year where we graph our own favorite food, color, book, etc. so that they can apply their own lives to the concepts that they are learning!
