Description

The Autumn Mix Candy Statistics Activity is a fun and festive way to celebrate Fall or Halloween while practicing math skills. Students (or a group of students) will receive a bag of Brach's Autumn Mix Candy or a certain amount if you purchase bags. Students can enjoy their treat while doing math (after step one is finished)! Students will record the number of Brach's Autumn Mix Candy per type, and then identify the fraction, decimal, and percent each type represents of the total. Students will then analyze the data by finding the mean, median, mode, range, and mean absolute deviation. Students will create a Pictograph and a Bar graph or Histogram. Finally, students will use the statistical analysis and graphs to draw conclusions and make predictions about the data, using evidence to support their claims.

A sample key is included but please note answers vary.

Happy Teaching!

A great filler for classroom fun. The students had fun getting to use candy, yes even middle schoolers still enjoy using candy for assignments. Great resource will use time and time again.
