Our ESL students participated with schools across the United States and abroad in the Alpha-Bit Online Project 2004. We were trying to determine if there were more vowels or consonants in a 15 oz. box of Post Alpha-Bits. We also wanted to find out which vowel-A,E,I,O, or U appeared most often.

First we divided the Alpha-Bits into three groups- vowels, consonants, and indistinguishable.

 

---

Next, we counted the each group and recorded the results.

Then we tallied our results.

The Results

We counted a total of 2,739 Alpha-Bits-1,277 consonants and 650 vowels. Eight hundred and twelve (812) letters were indistinguishable, we couldn't tell if
they were consonants or vowels.

Of course we had to eat the Alpha-Bits after our hard work of grouping, counting and tallying.
