M & M Graphing - Sorting

M & M's are a wonderful candy that the kids enjoy and so many activities can be done with these small candies. Here are a few ideas to do with m & m's count and graph the m&m's by color. You can download the file below. Here are a few ways to make this activity a bit more challenging: 1. Use tweezers to pick up and move each m&m 2. push the m&m's onto the grid using chop sticks. 3. Have the kids predict how many of each color they will have in their bag and then compare to the actual amount. 4. Use 2 dice one with colors and one with numbers. Have the students roll both dice and then that is the color and number of m&m's they add to their graphs.

Another fun idea with m&m's is to sort them by size. You can find mini m&m's, regular m&m's and peanut or peanut butter m&m's for 3 different sizes. Then have the kids sort them into groups by size.
