Jelly Bean Color Sorting, Tallying & Graphing Worksheets

Created for kindergarten, 1st grade, and 2nd grade elementary teachers seeking a high-engagement, hands-on math lesson that utilizes traditional Easter confections for foundational data and graphing curriculum standards (CCSS.Math.Content.1.MD.C.4). Students receive a small cup or plastic egg filled with assorted colored jelly beans. Using this worksheet, students sort their candies into designated color sorting circles, record the frequency using hash tallies, construct a vertical bar graph representing their data set, and answer analytical comparison questions (e.g., 'Which color had the most?', 'How many more pink than green?'). The generator allows teachers to customize the color labels to match standard commercial candy assortments perfectly.
