2. Use a pen and yardstick to measure 12" x 10" rectangles on the liner, creating three to four columns across.
3. Tape over the pen marks, and invite the children to use large objects to mark the graph, such as shoes or stuffed animals.To make a reusable cardboard graph:1. Measure and mark three to four vertical columns on the cardboard.
2. Mark and divide the columns into 2" sections, and laminate for durability.
3. Provide whiteboard markers to write on the graph. These can be wiped off easily, making the graph reusable.To make a magnetic graph:1. Mark a T shape on the magnetic board, and write headings on each side of the T.
