This week marks the beginning of a new math chapter on graphing, statistics, and probability. The students will be learning how to find the
mean,
median,
mode, and
range of a set of numbers. They will also be creating and examining the different types of graphs. Next week, we will focus on probability.
To help "sweeten" these concepts, we will use M&M's! Today, we began our M&M's project by predicting, counting, sorting, and recording data. Later in the week, we will use our data to
create different types of graphs on the computer. We will also visit the
official M&M's site to learn more and have a little fun with our favorite candy.
