Do you like
Skittles? We do! We got to eat Skittles, do math,
and use technology all at the same time because we
joined a telecollaborative Internet project called
The
Skittles Challenge
2002.
This cool project is sponsored by Mrs. Wagner and
her students at Crossroads Christian Academy in
Corona, California.
Thousands
of students from kindergarden through high school
are counting Skittles from the red, original fruit,
2.17oz size package to find out how many of each
color they have (red,
orange,
green,
purple,
and yellow)
as well as the totals in their packages.
What color
do you think will appear the most? How many
Skittles will be eaten in all? How many students
will be eating Skittles? Check the Skittles
Update page
on Friday, March 23, 2002 to find out!
In the
meantime, follow the arrow below to see how 2K used
Graph Club to record the data from their individual
bags of Skittles. We hope you enjoy reading our
graphs. They might even make you want to go
to the store to buy a bag of Skittles to munch
on!
Oh, in case
you were curious ... here are the Skittles count
totals for 2K:
|
red
|
orange
|
green
|
purple
|
yellow
|
|
138
|
201
|
161
|
161
|
172
|
Which color
was the most common? The least common? What
happened with green and purple? What was the total
Skittles count for 2K? Can you make up a few of
your own math problems with these totals? Have
fun!
