Name Challenge

Today we explore graphing.  This activity required the students to make unifix towers for each letter in their name.  The value of the letter was dependent on where it was in the alphabet.  First, we graphed our predictions.  Whose name would have the most unifix cubes?  Why do you think that?  Whose name would have the least number of unifix cubes?    The students first completed their names and then counted how many cubes.  Next, the visited other students to compare their values.  We also double checked and counted to make sure the number on the recording note was accurate.  In the end, we moved the lesson out into the hallway where we put our towers together to great one hugh graph.  The end results were surprising to everyone!
