Here is another version of the classic M&M math lesson. In this one, upper graders utilize the ClarisWorks Spreadsheet program in order to document the data they come up with from their bags of M&M's. After making their initial predictions, learners create two different types of graphs in the ClarisWorks program. A good lesson for older learners.
