Voyage Map

Making a Math Connection
• Materials:
• Unifix blocks, large poster paper, colored
markers
• Construct a graph on the poster paper
-------------------0----------------------• Using popsicle sticks, select one male and
one female.
• They will help the teacher count the number
of male and female children on the
Mayflower.
A Graph is Drawn
• This should activate
student interest and
questions.
• How old were they?
• Can you tell if
he/she is boy or a
girl from their name?
