Lucky Charms Graphing

In honor of St. Patrick's Day, the students completed a graphing activity that had them graph the types and amounts of marshamallows in a given serving of "Lucky Charms" cereal. After graphing the marshmallows in their bag, the students were required to answer math questions about their serving, such as "What is the fraction of balloon marshmallows in your bag?" and "Is your stars plus your horseshoes greater than, less than, or equal to your rainbows plus your hearts?"


The best part of this activity was we got to eat the cereal when we were finished graphing!
