These are books that you can read to your class that will help to reinforce their
learning data collection and recording. There are so many great books out there!
The books that I have chosen go along with my suggested lessons/activities to teach
the Probability and Statistics strand to your kindergarteners. (I suggest doing the
M&M book/activity first and again at the end...and in the cafeteria!)
*All of these books can be found on Amazon.com. If you click on the image of the
book you will be connected directly to the book's information and ordering page.
