Making The Chart Is Easy

Draw an apple shape as large or as small as you need on red butcher paper. Add a stem and leaf with construction paper and laminate it as one piece. Write on and wipe off with Mr. Sketch markers.

I’ve found that Mr. Sketch markers work the best on laminated charts. Since they’re a water color base, they wipe off easily with a damp paper towel. No more smudgy charts!

One of the ways I use my chart is to post an apple related problem of the day.

Students solve this problem on whiteboards or in their math journals by drawing the strategy they used, showing a second strategy they could use, writing a math problem,and then an answer statement. I make sure to have them restate the question in their answers.
