Rational numbers mini-project that students will enjoy! I was inspired to create Rational Me after watching a video about the elements present in the human body. I thought it would be great for students to learn about these elements and to calculate how much of the elements are in their own bodies. For two years, I had students create large posters to represent their results, but this year, I created a version of the project students could keep in their notebooks.

Students complete this mini-project after our lessons on rational numbers. I wanted to keep it simple and interesting. This project covers the following topics:

Rational numbers
Fractions
Decimals
Converting rational numbers
Representing percents using circle graphs
Representing percents using visual representations

This project includes instructions, four different types of activity pages, and an image of a completed sample. I hope your students enjoy exploring with Rational Me.
