Shape cutouts or small objects (e.g., circles, squares, triangles)
Graph paper or large chart paper
Markers or crayons.Introduction (5 minutes): Explain that students will sort shapes and create a graph to show how many of each shape they have.
Sorting (10 minutes): Have students sort the shape cutouts or objects into groups by shape.
Counting and Graphing (10 minutes): Count the number of each shape and create a simple bar graph on the graph paper to represent the counts.
Discussion (5 minutes): Discuss the graph. Ask questions like, “Which shape has the most?” and “How many more of one shape are there compared to another?”
Extension (Optional): Students can create their own graphs using different sets of shapes or objects.
