A warm beeswax loft. Pollen beads drift down from the comb. Scoop them with a wooden trough, then stamp a scaled honeycomb graph — each hex stands for 2, 5, or 10 beads. Built for third-grade scaled bar graphs.
Move the Scoop
Press in the loft and drag. The wooden trough follows. Catch every pollen bead you can.
Read the Scale
The wax tab shows 1 hex = 2, 5, or 10. Count the beads under each kind, then divide by that scale.
Build the Bars
Tap empty hexes to stack a bar. Spare beads that do not make a full hex stay in the tray and do not get a cell.
Stamp Each Column
Stamp when the height is right. Six full hauls win. Three wrong stamps end the run. Chase a best on each difficulty.
Scoop the Loft
Drag a wooden trough under falling pollen. Caught beads pile by color. Missed beads fall through the floorboards.
A Scale, Not One-to-One
Easy uses 1 hex = 2. Medium uses 5. Hard uses 10. Students skip-count the tray and build the matching height.
Stamp the Comb
Tap empty hexes to grow a bar. Tap the top hex to pull one off. Stamp when the height matches the haul. A wrong stamp costs a life.
Six Hauls to Clear
Each round is a new catch then a new graph. Six stamped combs win the loft. Three bad stamps end the run.
Comb Tally is a third-grade scaled bar graph game. Players scoop drifting pollen in a beeswax loft, then graph the haul on a honeycomb. Each hex stands for 2, 5, or 10 beads, so the skill is skip-counting a data set onto a scaled bar graph — not coloring one square per item.
The Data Is Yours
The graph shows what the scoop actually caught. Miss a bead, and that bar is shorter.
Scale Is Visible
A labeled y-axis and grouped tray dots make 'each hex equals 5' something you can see, not a worksheet footnote.
Instant Wax
A good stamp scores at once. A shake is a miss. There is no check-your-work button after the whole page.
Touch First
The loft is the control. The mute tab sits with the score row, not under the fullscreen button.
The pollen you scooped, not the beads that fell through. Count each color. Each hex on the comb stands for 2, 5, or 10 beads, depending on difficulty.
Stamp 3 hexes. The leftover bead is a spare. It does not get its own cell.
Press in the loft and drag. The wooden trough follows your finger or pointer. You do not need a separate catch button.
The scale (2, 5, or 10), how many kinds fall, and how fast the beads drift. Scoop then stamp stays the same.
Second through fourth grade (about ages 7–10), when students draw scaled bar graphs. Stay on Easy for a scale of 2.
