I used that same activity! It was GREAT and the kids really looked forward to it. It started many conversations, questions and discussions! Thanks for that memory and sharing your thoughts, Isabelle!

Each friend has a star with their name (velcros to their cubby) that they use to mark their yes/no response. We use the board at circle to see how many friends are wearing green or whatever the question may be! I think data analysis should be fun and meaningful to the kids!

Beforehand, I would gather how much interest/knowledge children had on particular themes and then once they learned how to take their own surveys, someone was always surveying their classmates during our Free Choice Time. Our Morning Attendance was used to analyze how many children were present, as well as a feelings check-in that changed throughout the day.

Hi Shelby! I would keep it very simple and developmentally appropriate. Anytime your toddlers choose between two things, you are collecting data. You have four children and three of them like apples and one wants an orange. When you point this out to the children, you are exposing your children to counting, sets, and attributes. This is all math at their level. All day long you are planting the seeds for future STEM success! Keep it simple and have fun! You are building the foundation! You’ve got this!

Talking the favorites of the children and comparing them is also conducive. Pizza slices with toppings would work well also. It would also encourage the beginning of compare and contrast circles of thought as well.

I also try to use real photos where I can. This helps the children make more of a direct correlation between what they are seeing and what we are counting.
