Postmark graphing - November-December Activities: From our Readers - Brief Article
Instructor, Nov-Dec, 2002 by Denise Wadas
For a fun math and geography review during the fall and winter holiday seasons, start a class postmark collection. Display a large wall map of the United States, and encourage students to bring in as many postmarks as they can find. Have them cut out and attach these to the map on the appropriate states with removable adhesive.
Then each day, ask students to tally the number of postmarks in each state. Later, invite students to graph the data.
