Here are 4 levels of tape diagram practice or homework with increasing difficulty. The first worksheets include high levels of support with tape diagrams drawn for the student with the focus on problem solving.

Students will be tape diagram experts by the end!

Using M&M's, students record the colors represented in a small sample or bag. Students use this information to write each color as a fraction of the entire sample and convert the fraction to a decimal and percent. Work page gives space for students to divide the fractions and answer summary questions.

Students use classroom and each other to create unique fractions to later convert to percents. Great way to connect mathematics to the real world in any classroom.
