Our Favourite Halloween Treat
Students conduct a survey to determine the class’ favourite type of Halloween candy. Candy wrappers are used to create a bar graph by type of candy. Data are described in mathematical terms and questions are posed about the data collected. The activity is presented as a Halloween theme but may be used at any time of the year if students bring in pictures of their favourite treats instead of candy wrappers.
