Given a bag of M&Ms students will create fractions, decimals and percents based on the colors they have in their bags to prove or disprove the claim made by the M&M company. I gave my students regular M&Ms, peanut M&Ms and peanut butter M&Ms based on student's ability. There are less M&Ms in the peanut bags because they are bigger which means it was easier for struggling students to work with. You can place students in pairs with this activity or they can work independently depending on how much

This packet is based on NYS Module 1. Some questions were added and some were removed to add to the lessons that were already created. Lessons are numbered based on other modifications I have made for the rest of the original module.
