I have used this little book in my classroom many times as it is a great introduction to charts and graphs. Today, a very big part of standardized testing is the ability to read and interpret charts and graphs. Having students practice this skill is paramount to their success. “If you can count it, measure it, or sort it, you can make a chart.” There are several chart examples included like bar graphs and pictographs, and at the end of the book, there are five additional pages of questions and activities related to the charts in the story. This is a nice math resource for any primary or elementary classroom, even though it is written on a first grade level. I have used it with both 4th and 5th grade students.
