INTERNET PROJECTS

St. Patrick's Day Project
March 15, 2010 - March 20, 2010

St. Patrick's Day Project is a collaborative Internet project hosted by Jennifer Wagner ,

Each class will count the number of marshmallow shapes: pots of gold, green hat, horseshoes, orange clover, moons, rainbows, hearts, and balloons in a 14 ounce box of Lucky Charms Cereal. Each child will record his/her results on a tally sheet and create a graph to represent their count. Student totals will be added together to create a class count and a class graph. The class results will be sent to Jennifer Wagner between March 15 and March 20. As a group we are trying to prove there are more green clovers than any other shape. A grand total will be posted on March 21.

CLASS RESULTS

Pots of Gold		Green Clovers

Each child received a bag of cereal. Each child recorded the number of each marshmallow shape using tally marks. Then each child created a bar graph of their marshmallow shapes. We then created a class tally mark sheet and bar graph.
The greatest number of marshmallow shapes was ____________ in our box of cereal. In order from greatest to least we had

The children are wondering if their results will be the same as the grand total. They are thinking of writing General Mills about their findings.
