Dinosaur Pictogram Chart pictures designed for children to not only think about their favourite dinosaur, but also realise that others may not have the same favourite. In addition, children begin to learn about simple graphs and charts. Ideal for use in a classroom, preschool, nursery or childminder setting. Children do not have to necessarily complete the activity at the same time, but a chart can be added to a display and individual children can add their own favourites at appropriate times. Simply place the four large dinosaurs on the first page in a horizontal line to form the base of the chart and children can add their own favourite smaller dinosaur above to create the vertical lines of a chart. The lengths of the lines can be compared and number of dinosaurs on each can be counted to find totals. Questions such as ‘How many children like the triceratops?’ may be asked. To really extend mathematical thinking, questions such as ‘How many more children like the tyrannosaurus rex than the triceratops?’ could be delved into. Please note that pterodactyls were pterosaurs (a type of flying reptile), not technically dinosaurs.
