Find, Count Soccer Activity is a single page that explores several data-gathering skills. Previous graphing sets have explored counting, recording, and graphing on separate pages. Rather than do that again the skills are combined on one page.
This set focuses on two themes soccer and feelings. The directions ask children to count how many of each of the feelings are displayed on a set of soccer balls. Then they are asked to record just how many of each feeling they have found. Finally, the number of each feeling will be displayed on a bar graph.

The Create a Graph page is a PDF. Once you have downloaded, the set you will need to open it with a PDF reader like Acrobat Reader.
Using the Find and Count Sheet
Children will find out how many of each feeling is shown in the picture at the top of the page. Then children are asked to record how many they have found in the middle of the page. Next, they will need to create a graph of their data.
If you are worried your children may lose count, you can have them cross out, color, or place a number of each object as they count it.
