Estimating and Graphing with Candy

Next week we will be learning how interpret information from different types of graphs. Today we estimated amounts of marshmallows and M & M's and graphed the actual results. Tomorrow we will learn about mixtures and solutions and the characteristics of both. The kids had so much fun with this activity. :)

After estimating, we counted all of our marshmallows so we could graph them.

 

So engaged in learning!

 

Counting the M & M's after graphing the marshmallows.

 

Graphing each color M & M.

 

We only had white marshmallows....so that left some of the blanks easy to fill out!

 

All smiles for math!

 

Making sure to count carefully.

 

Finding the difference of what they estimated and the actual amount.
