It All Started With a Jar of Can Tabs

Late last week, one of our J/K boys proudly arrived at school one morning with a jar filled with can tabs. He had every intention of adding them to our bucket of tabs that we are collecting for the school wide fund raising campaign. However, before the tabs could be dumped into the can tab bucket, several students took a keen interest in the variety of tabs inside the jar. With the help of Mrs. Tenyenhuis, several students poured the tabs into a white tub. Sorting of the tabs into a tray quickly took place.

After the sorting was completed, Mrs. Tenyenhuis probed the students about which colour/size of tab numbered the most and which one numbered the least. The students, with some guidance and direction, created a graph which represented their findings. Later in the morning, the group presented their graph to the class. And to think, it all began with a jar of can tabs.
