Simple Graphing

Next we will count them, write the number on a card and stick it next to each row.
Object graphing is the way you introduce children to graphs, once they are comfortable with simple sorting.

Be sure:
-each graph has a name
-rows always go left to right OR top to bottom
-objects are placed right next to one another
-you expose your child to horizontal (pictured above) graphs as well as verticle graphs (the paper is shifted to portrait orientation and the columns start at the bottom and progress to the top)
-you can write the number of objects
-you can talk about which has the most, least, how many more, etc.
