Mrs. Bond–the teacher of our Senior Kindergarten math buddies–came to us with a concern: are her students eating healthy foods? She also brought us information about the SK students’ favorite foods. But before students could answer her question, they had to figure out how to organize the information to make it useable.

Finally, they added pictures to insure that even young readers like their SK buddies could understand the graph:
Now that students in Room 123 can use the information, they can begin to answer Mrs. Bond’s question. Watch for updates on their progress!
