That's the Way the Cookie Tumbles!
O.R.E.O. Project 2011
The letters O.R.E.O. actually stand for "Our Really Exciting Online" project. This fun project is hosted by Jennifer Wagner at www.projectsbyjen.com. Jennifer's goal is to "encourage teachers to seamlessly integrate technology in their classrooms." She does this by hosting online collaborative learning projects such as the O.R.E.O. Project.
On the day of the project we "stacked and snacked" our way through several bags of Oreo© cookies. Working with a partner, we stacked cookies and recorded the number of cookies stacked using tally marks. The average number of cookies stacked in our class was 18. The graph below shows the results of our cookie stacking.
As much fun as it was to test our skill in stacking the cookies, it was the taste-testing that students looked forward to all day! The following Oreo Brands were used in the taste-test:
- Oreo Golden Vanilla with Vanilla Creme
- Oreo Golden Vanilla with Chocolate Creme
- Oreo Halloween Cookie
- Oreo Chocolate with Chocolate Creme
- Oreo Chocolate with Peanut Butter Creme
Results
After stacking cookies, tallying our results, snacking on cookies, and creating bar graphs on paper, we headed to the computer lab to create an online bar graph. Then we logged into Projects by Jen and submitted our results. We found out that students from 515 schools are participating in this project. Over 10,940 students have been stacking Oreos. You can find out more about the O.R.E.O. project by clicking on the Halloween Oreo package.
And what about the results of the taste-test? The cookie package below will be your clue.
