Surprise Graphing Lesson
Posted in Learning on the Narrow Path
|
Christy was messing around with the Cuisinere rods this morning. She pretended she worked advising farmers of what crops to plant each year. She gathered up Farmer Brown's pretend records and analyzed them, making a bar graph with the rods for each crop's sales the last four years. Then she wrote out an analysis for Farmer Brown. She recommended he stop growing beets, as they were his lowest seller the past two years. Although carrots didn't do much better, she suggested he keep growing them, and perhaps buy a horse to eat any leftovers he couldn't sell. Also, since his sale of walnuts had risen steadily, she recommended he use the beet field to plant some almonds and pecans and take advantage of this run on nuts. |
