‘Our Favourite Toys’ Pictogram Chart pictures and banner designed for children to not only think about their favourite toy, 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 any of the eight large toys on the first page in a horizontal line to form the base of the chart and children can add their own favourite smaller toy above to create the vertical lines of a chart. The lengths of the lines can be compared and number of toys on each can be counted to find totals. Questions such as ‘How many children like toy cars?’ may be asked. To really extend mathematical thinking, questions such as ‘How many more children like playing with footballs than marble runs?’
