Description

The M & M’s Statistics Activity is a fun and engaging way to practice math skills! This product includes versions that can be used anytime of the year (regular M & M’s), during the holiday season (red and green M & M’s), during Valentine’s Day (Valentine’s Day M & M’s), or during spring/Easter (Easter M & M’s). Students will receive a pack of M & M's or a certain amount if you purchase bags. Students will record the number of M & M's per color, and then identify the fraction, decimal, and percent each color 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.

Happy Teaching!
