Youngsters sort M & M's by color. They graph the M&M's by color on a graph. This classic instructional activity is a wonderful way to introduce the concept and technique of graphing to young mathematicians. Pairs of kids can make up their own graph based on what they find in their own package of M & M's. A tasty instructional activity!
