Brown Bear Sorting & Graphing Activity

This is another delicious way to teach math skills to the little ones.  I personally am motivated by chocolate and I would have to say the kids were pretty thrilled when they found out they got to eat   the M & M's at the end of our activity.  Basically for this game the kids got to "feed" the brown bear animals M & M's that were the same color as the animal and then we counted to see which animals ate the most & least.  For the graphing we lined up the appropriate color M & M's with the matching animal and similarly counted to see which one had the most & least M & M's.
