Center idea- Cut graphs, tables, or charts from newspapers or magazines. Glue individually onto cardstock. Below the graph, etc., write 5-7 questions that could be answered from that picture. Laminate and place in center with paper for the student answers.

Science and Measurement Integration idea- As part of your recycling unit, combine math graphing with a desired outcome - a clean desk! Have students pull out items in their desk and categorize. (ex: paper, broken pencils, books, etc.) Then they can decide whether the materials can be reduced, reused, or recycled (or just taken home where it may belong!) You may want to discuss ways a broken crayon or pencil can be reused instead of simply throwing it in the garbage. Students are asked to weigh or mass how much they have collected as a group for each category. Ask each student to then graph the results (weight/mass in pounds/grams) of what the class found in their desks.
