Using Trade Books to Teach
           Math
        Compiled by
       Melissa Winfield
Learning Objectives
Students will:
  1. Sort M & M’s by a given attribute (color)
      estimate how many M & M’s are in bag #1
      and bag #2
   2. Graph M & M’s by color and conclude what
      color they have the most and least of
   3. Combine sets (add) M & M’s together and
      describe results
Introduction
• After reading the M & M Counting Book
  explain the four stations to the students
  and explain what will be expected of them
  at each station.
• Have the student groups rotate through
  the four math centers in fifteen minutes
  intervals.
• Give the students a Ziploc bag with M &
  M’s inside.
Center #1: Estimating & Sorting
• Each student will receive
  an estimating sheet.
• Show the children the
  bag of M & M’s and ask
  them to estimate how
  many M & M’s are in the
  bag. Have them write
  their estimate on the
  sheet that was given to
  them.
Center #2: Counting & Sorting
• Each student will
  receive an M & M
  sorting sheet.
• Students will be
  asked to sort their
  bag of M & M’s by
  color. They need to
  place the appropriate
  color of M & M’s on
  the color word circle
  on their sorting sheet.
Center #2: Counting
• After their M & M’s are
  sorted, have each student
  count how many M & M’s
  they have of each color
  and record that number
  on their sheet in the
  appropriate color word
  circle.
• If time allows, have the
  students color the circles
  on their sorting sheet
  using the appropriate
  color
Center #3: Graphing
• Each student will receive
  a M & M graphing sheet.
• The students are to graph
  his/her M & M’s by their
  color.
• The student then colors in
  the appropriate squares
  on the graph to represent
  how many of each color
  he/she had in their bag.
Center 4: Adding
• Each student will
  receive an adding
  sheet. The student
  will work with the
  teacher or TA to
  create addition
  sentences using the
  M & M’s.
