Description

Teach probability as well as graphing through this fun project using snack-sized or larger bags of M&M candies. Students use calculators to calculate the fraction, decimal, and percent of each color and then graph the colors on the grid paper which is provided. They also find the mean, mode, median, and range of the number of M&M's each group member or classmate has. This project only proves that the way to a child's mind can sometimes be through his stomach. Of course, students get to eat their M&M's upon completion of this activity.

I'm so glad that your students loved this activity. The use of food in any activity always seems to be a great motivator! Thanks for the positive feedback!

I adapted this lesson to make the directions a little clearer. I also added a circle graph that I found in another lesson. The students had a great time trying to figure out how to divide up the circle accurately to reflect the proportions of the colors in their bag. Overall, I am very pleased with the idea and quality of the lesson. I will definitely do it again next year.
