Students estimate number of each color cereal they
have in their bag.
Students record their estimates on paper.
Students open the baggie and sort and count the
actual number of each color of cereal.
Students record the data on paper.
Students open the "Froot Loop" Lesson file template
in Excel and enter all data into the spreadsheet. (or
just graph the information in Excel- columns are
color, estimate, actual)
Students compare estimate to actual using the
graphs.
Students analyze information in graphs.
Students write math problems that can be solved
using the graphs.
Students share their problems with the class and
solve.
