Happy Birthday Pictogram!

Today Mrs. Ranney showed us a terrific graphing site.

We looked at the birthdays in the classroom using a birthday pictogram.






(Click the picture to make it larger.)


(We took a screen shot by pressing COMMAND + SHIFT + 4)

Then we made up  questions!

How many girls are there?
How many boys are there?


What month has the most birthdays?


The answers are 13 girls, 13 boys, and July!

  6. Hello and Ribbit to everyone in Mrs. Ranney's Class,

    Frogger, the Blogger, here! I'm glad to see some great new comments about the Happy Birthday Pictogram post!

    @Hayley, you came up with some great questions and used correct capitals, periods, and question marks too!

    @Adam, you did a terrific job answering Hayley's questions! You also used correct capitalization and punctuation! I like the way you also came up with a question of your own! Remember, one :) is plenty!

    @Quynh Anh, you came up with some great challenging questions. I can't wait to see who answers them! Nice work with the capitals and punctuation too!

    @Oliver, I'm looking forward to seeing who answers your question as well! Good job on the capitalization and punctuation!

    Remember, everyone, you can ask, as well as answer questions!

    All the best,
    Frogger
