Lesson Plan

1Opening (3 min)

Welcome to today's BibleMouse math adventure! Let's review our graph-making skills from yesterday.

💭 Review Question: What did we learn about reading graphs yesterday?
2Teaching (8 min)

Today, we'll create a class graph about something fun! We'll work together to collect and display our data.

📌 Key Talking Points:
  • A graph helps us show information in a picture
  • We'll choose a fun topic everyone can answer
  • Each person will add their own sticker to the graph
💬 Discussion Questions:
  • What topic should we graph?
  • How can we make sure everyone gets a turn?
3Activity: Class Favorite Graph (10 min)

Create a graph showing the class's favorite fruit, animal, or color

📝 Instructions:
  1. Choose a fun topic for our graph
  2. Draw graph lines on large chart paper
  3. Give each student a sticker to place on their choice
  4. Count and discuss the results together
🔄 Variations:

Simpler: Use fewer categories to make graphing easier

Challenge: Have students help draw the graph lines

4Closing (3 min)

Let's look at our beautiful BibleMouse graph and talk about what we learned!

📝 Review Questions:
  • What did our graph show?
  • Which choice had the most stickers?

Coming up: Tomorrow we'll explore fun patterns in our math lesson!
