I asked my son the other day what his favorite math lesson has been during his time in elementary school. He didn’t even have to take a second before he said, “Oh, that’s easy! It was the Skittles lesson!”
1. His teacher passed out a snack-sized bag of skittles to each student.
2. She then had each child draw a graph that allowed room for each of the five flavors of skittles. A snack sized package of skittles has 12-15 skittles in it.
3. The students were asked to open their bag of skittles and graph them.
