Introduction

This project shows students the benefits of using graphs to communicate information, answer questions, and solves problems as they investigate color distribution in bags of M&M's. Working with actual bags of candy, students will sort and classify contents, summarize their findings on a worksheet, convert the numbers into charts, and make predictions about color distribution in other bags of candy.
