Challenge your third-grader to sharpen her new math skills--and maybe do the planet a favor, too.

Okay, engaging in a graphing activity may sound ho-hum, but if you use fun data, it changes the picture entirely.

Liven up a lesson about graphing by helping your third grader compile a bar graph from his classmates' birthday data.

Graph are a great way to organize information. Your child will get to practice graphing by creating a bar graph and a pictorial graph of her friend's names.

Increase your child's confidence in interpreting bar graphs and throw a little candy into the mix to sweeten the learning process.
