I had a lot of fun with the activity we did with this tool. I think eating the M&Ms was the most fun. I can see kids having fun with this. I can see pairs of kindergarten students sitting at tables sorting and counting out the M&Ms. I think this activity would suite itself to the Smart Board. Kids could go up and fill out the spreadsheet. The Smart Board has line recognition so the handwritten numbers could be converted to type. And wouldn't the kids think it was magic when the data in the spreadsheet was converted to a graph!
Speaking of handwriting
