Graphing Colored Candy- 2nd Grade

Creating a graph using the colors of candy pieces has sort of become a rite of passage for our Second Graders at ZSJ.  The kids just LOVE this project!  Today the students received their bag of Skittles or M&Ms, sorted the candy pieces by color and typed the information in a spread sheet.  After they had sorted and counted the candy, they were free to enjoy the candy.  Tomorrow they will show me that they know how to use the information on the spread sheet to create a graph!
