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 12 and March 16. 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 20.

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 shooting stars in our box
of cereal. In order from greatest to least we had green
clovers, shooting stars, rainbows, pots of gold, moons, hearts,
horseshoes, and balloons.
The children are wondering if their results will be the same as the
grand total.
