Bring on the changing leaves and cooler weather because fall is on its way! Up next in our roll and graph series is this Fall Roll and Graph Math Activity! Children will enjoy rolling a die to race to the top of the graph to see who the winner is. Practicing early graphing skills has never been more fun!

Fall Roll and Graph Math Activity
My favorite way to use this activity is in pairs. When children pair up with a partner, they can turn this roll and graph game into a race! This math game is perfect for an independent center activity too.
This activity is suitable for Preschool and Kindergarten students. What’s extra great about this math center is children will practice graphing skills and work their fine motor muscles while coloring!
Let’s get started with our supplies.

- Crayons
How to Assemble the Printable Die
You have two options for using dice with this activity. You can use the included fall printable die and assemble it on your own OR you can use the pocket die printable cards to place in a pocket die.
Assembly for the fall roll and graph printable die is simple! I would suggest laminating it first. I think it’s easier to assemble when it’s laminated. Laminating also makes the die more durable.
Simply cut out the die along the thick black line. Then you’ll fold inward, along the dotted lines.
Keep folding up the die and tucking in the edges until it’s in a cube shape. Lastly, add a couple pieces of tape to secure the die.
If you’d rather not fuss with assembling the printable die, then use a pocket die (these pocket dice are my absolute favorite and what I use in math centers all the time) and print the pocket die picture cards.
Simply laminate, cut them out, and slide them into the sides of the pocket die.
How to Use the Fall Roll and Graph Math Activity Recording Sheet
If you choose to place this activity in your math center, be sure that your students have a solid foundation of graphing skills. If it’s been awhile then a quick reminder of how to graph will help!
Place a basket of crayons, colored pencils and markers in your math center for more graphing fun!
Fun Tip: Laminate the recording sheet and have your students use dry erase markers instead!
Time to Graph!
Students are expected to roll the die and then color in one square above the fall picture that matches.
The activity continues with the child rolling the die and coloring in the squares above the object rolled on the die.
The game is over when one of the fall pictures reaches the top of the graph first!
Partner Work
Turn this graphing activity into a race! In pairs, each child has his/her own Fall Roll and Graph recording sheet and they share a die.
Player #1 rolls the die and colors in the square on their own graph recording sheet.
Player #2 then rolls and records the picture rolled on their own recording sheet.
The game continues until one of the player’s fall themed picture has reached the top of their own graph first!
Extra Fun Tip: Give students colorful stickers for graphing instead of coloring in the squares on the recording sheet. As an added bonus…this helps work those fine motor muscles too!
Early Learner Tip: Color in the boxes on the bottom with each box being a different color to help get early learners started. It’ll simplify the graphing process for little ones who are just learning how to graph.

November 12, 2018 at 7:19 amThank you for great products! I teach special education in a severe-profound classroom. Your products make it easy to use at different levels (mine that can’t roll the dice will draw from a stack of printed cards or point to cards laid face down to select) and beautiful to look at. I’m a first year teacher and I look forward to using more of your resources.
Thanks again!
