Lucky Charms Graphing

Our class had so much fun graphing data they collected from everyone's favorite breaksfast treat--Lucky Charms! In celebration of St. Patrick's Day, each student tallied and graphed the number of marshmallows in their bag of Lucky Charms. We also used the "X" shaped cereal pieces as a non-standard measuring tool. Check out some pictures below!
