1st graders are learning all about graphs! To conclude our unit, the students received a cup of M&M’s . They had to sort them by color. They used the data to create a bar graph. Then they enjoyed a tasty treat. The students also compared their data with their partner’s graph. They read and answered questions to interpret the graph. Ms. Taylor told the students they would do another cool activity like this on Valentine’s Day. The first graders really enjoyed this activity.
