Graphing - 3years 11months old

Zo Ee at 3years 11months old. (2nd April 2012)



I've seen Zo Ee doing Tally Mark chart for few months already but Bar Chart and Pie Chart are really something new. I think it all got started after she read a Charting book from the library few weeks ago. Since then, occasionally, I am seeing emerging charts in her drawings. I think the ones she did yesterday were pretty good. I asked her about any charting videos on Brainpop Junior and she did say yes. Since I coudn't recall any, she must have not watch those videos recently or for the past weeks. That's why I'm finding this interesting as I'm seeing her self-correcting and improving on her charting without any feedback or guidance from me or anyone at all. Each time, her graphing improved with more details etc and she has not re-read that book which we had returned many weeks ago and has not watched any related video recently of past 1 month. So, it's all inside her head and memory and she just self-correct and improved after each try. As of yesterday, I think it was her 10-13th charts that I've seen. Pretty obvious that she has been a bit obssessed with graphing since reading that library book, occasionally telling me that she/we need to make a chart of XXX or YYYY for my cooking, her toys, activities etc. And she could read graphs long before this too, most probably from brainpop junior too.




This is the most complete Bar Chart from her, though the missing zero on the number bar. She said its a bar chart of fruits she has eaten; banana, apple, grapes and cherry.


Pie Chart
- Ice-cream, flower shape cake and sweets.
