Mr. Sylvester's Socks Graphing Activity

Teaching students about data is great skill because they get to look at information in a new way. Analyzing and compiling data requires critical thinking skills from our math students. We want to ensure we have interactive practice opportunities to help students connect the dots. This resource can do just that!

This is Mr. Sylvester’s Socks Graphing Activity. It is a 4-page printable that was designed for your 2nd and 3rd grade students. The objective of this product is for students to be able to correctly analyze data from graphs, answer questions about graphs and create graphs.

The worksheets included are:

1. Socks in Stock – This page has a graph that represents the socks in stock at a local clothing store. Students will answer 6 questions for this graph.

2. Mr. Sylvester’s Socks – Students will analyze groups based on how Mr. Sylvester has sorted his socks. Students will use this data to correctly color the socks in the left-hand column of the chart. Students will fill in the graph using circles to correctly represent the socks. On the next page, students will get to decide how many of each color sock they think Mr. Sylvester should keep. Based on their number, students will complete questions to note how many socks Mr. Sylvester is getting rid of.

3. Sock it to Us! – Students will collect data for their own socks. They will use this data to create a bar graph.

This can be completely individually, in small groups, or for homework.

I hope you enjoy!
