Step 2 - Click here to download and print the following pages for each student.
Step 3 - Students place fruit snacks over each box to build a graph. This is such great hands-on practice. It makes graphing concrete for little guys and also works on one-to-one correspondence. After graphs are built, the kids color in the boxes as they eat each snack. Once the graph is finished, use the information from the graph to complete the addition sentences. This can also be done before snacks are eaten if your kids need to use the fruit snacks as manipulatives. To make this project more challenging, give students two packages of snacks so they are working with larger numbers.
