Have a hopping good time teaching your class how to collect and graph data with this fun activity-based instructional activity series. Using the provided data taken from a frog jumping contest, children first work together creating a line plot of the information, before making origami frogs that are used to collect their own frog jumping data that is analyzed and displayed on line plot posters.
