I was thinking about birthday charts today. I have always had one in my room and it has always been something I have premade during the summer. I decided that next year I wanted to incorporate the creation of the chart into a lesson and concluded that a line plot would be perfect. Line plots were tested heavily this year and are part of our math curriculum. I absolutely LOVE this idea:
In case you can't see the pictures clearly, each child is holding a paper with their birthdate on it. My plan is to photograph each of my students holding the number that represents the day they were born on and use those images to create a line plot of our classroom birthdays.
