Mean Median Mode and Percents M&M Activity

Created by

Give students each a pack of fun size M&M's. They record how many of each color they have and then answer the questions about their numbers. Then they work in groups and determine the same questions with the new numbers. The second page works on converting fractions (of each color over total m&ms) to percents and comparing them to the expected percents found in an M&M bag. I did this activity around Halloween time and students loved it.

Halloween Candy Problem Solving

Created by

Kelly Telzrow

This was designed as a quick small group problem solving activity to do around Halloween. Students have to determine how many pieces of candy to hand out for trick-or-treat and then find two different ways to purchase the candy from the store using information in the data table. If you want to increase the difficulty, you could require that for one of the solutions students have to show the cheapest way to do this.
