Friday: Freddy's graph game
Freddy the Frog jumps onto a lily pad with a rolled-up paper.
"Ribbit! I counted the birds at the feeder," he says.
"My bar graph counts by twos."
Lizzy peers at it through her magnifying glass.
"Let us answer questions about it," she says.
Bennie nods. "Then we will review picture graphs and line plots too."
