Lately I’ve been using this 32 lb bright white printer paper for my preschool printables. Images look nice and bright and the paper is a bit sturdier than “normal” printer paper.
To make your worksheets reusable, laminate them or slip them in a dry erase pocket or page protector.
I recently got these secure page protectors with a flap to keep the paper inside and I love them! They’re cheaper than laminating and they’re reusable, too.
My daughter can use a dry erase marker on her page protectors and I don’t have to worry about the page accidentally slipping out. It’s also easy for me to keep her worksheets organized in a 3 ring binder. Additionally, this arrangement keeps the pages from slipping around while she uses them. It’s a win-win.
I place the pages so the I-Spy and graphing page pairs are facing one another, like this:
Count the items on the I-Spy page and record the quantities.
Transfer these numbers over to the graphing page. There are numbers to trace or your child can color in the squares.
There are many ways to count and graph. Here are a few ideas:
- For the youngest learners:
- Have your child use a do a dot marker to mark an image on the I-Spy card then immediately mark a square in the corresponding graphing page. This is how I introduced the pages to my daughter and the method you see in the video accompanying this post.
- For a greater challenge, have them use a “regular” marker or pencil to each item and place a dot in the corresponding record square as they go. Work with them to count the dots after each image has been marked, then transfer this number to the graph paper. This version works well with laminated pages so the activity is reusable.
- Older children can make tally marks or write the number in the record square.
- Children can also cover each counted picture with a small manipulative like an eraser or pompom to keep track of which items they’ve already counted.
- The graph can be colored in, covered with manipulatives. or your child can trace the numbers.
- For a more challenging game, do not provide manipulatives to assist with counting and don’t have your child mark each image. This can be pretty challenging, especially on the count to 10 pages!
