What could be more fun than graphing Skittles candies and then eating them? First graders enjoyed working with the program The Graph Club to do just that. After sorting and counting their Skittles, each student recorded the results from their individual bags on a teacher-created template. Next, they were asked to use the program's note box to write two sentences describing their graph along with a model number representing their bag. This activity was a fun hands-on way to explain how bar graphs and pie charts are useful tools to display numerical information.
