Students will measure the gingerbread man that they have made as a craft that day.  The teacher can make a graph showing how many of each material it takes to measure the gingerbread man.

This activity is used the day the class makes the gingerbread man.

It is a good idea to make a permanent graph to be used on floor or wall for this and other units that call for graphing.  Suggested material: solid color vinyl or oil cloth
