We had an interesting math lesson using a small bags of M & M's. The children sorted them into sets by color, added and subtracted M & M's, and compared their sets using greater than, less than and equal to. The children practiced estimation and place value using the candies. We also practiced graphing by making a bar graph to show how many of each color we had in our packets. The children also made a pie graph to show fractions of each color they had. After we practiced all of these math skills, we got to eat the M & M's. I'm sure the children would agree that eating them was the best part of the activity!!
