Graphing with a Fidget Spinner

Prep- Work: 1. Print off sheets.. 2. Provide pencils, crayons, and fidget spinner.

Directions: 1. Have children spin the spinner on the graph

for a 20 times, and record their information. 2. Next children fill at the info for the probability

page. 3. Now have them record their information on a

line graph, a bar graph, and a pictograph. 4. Have them answer the questions about their

graph.

My Data

Spin the spinner twenty times per set. Place a tally mark in the correct box to record

your data.

Probability Questions Use the pie graph to determine what the fractional chance is that you will spin and land each animal. Then figure out what the actual fraction for each set. Which set was closest to what should have happened? __________________________________________ If you spin the spinner 60 times, what fraction should the spinner land on each animal? ________ Is the total of the sets closer to this fraction? _____ Explain on the back.

Graph Questions Choose one graph and answer the following questions.

1. Which animal did you spin the most?

______________

2. Which animal did you spin the least? _________________

3. What is the difference between the number of times the fidget spinner landed on the zebra verses the ladybug? _______________

4. Did the fidget spinner land on any of the animals the same amount? ______________________

5. Look at how many times the fidget spinner landed on the elephant and the ladybug. 1. Which one did the fidget spinner land on the

least? _________________________ 2. How many more time would the fidget spinner

need to land on that animal so that is equal to the other animal? ___________________
