were liked the best. Pose the questions, color do the most students like?” is “Which “What the second and third favorite in the class?” After each question have them explain how they knew that it was a favorite. Part II Students will be organizing data into categories (the three favorite colors chosen in the opening). They will use the snack size bags to record the amount of each color that they bag contains. Provide each pair of students with a size bag of M&Ms or Skittles.

How do you know? How can you figure out if a color has more or less? How many more of color A than of color B or C? How do you know? Do you that all of the bags will have the same amount of each color? Why? How many of A, B, and C do you have? Is it more or less than 20? How many more would you need to make 20? How do you know? Have students ask classmates these same questions. Formative Assessment Questions See questions suggested within task description. DIFFERENTIATION Extension: Allow students to create a table that represents all of the colors in the bag. Pose the same questions. Ask students to formulate questions about their tables to ask other classmates. Encourage them to write higher level comparison questions. Intervention Allow students to place the candies on ten frames when determining the sums and differences.
