This hands on lab focuses on changing fractions to decimals and percents using either skittles or m&ms. Includes a reading passage on taking inventory and comprehension questions. Activity also extends to students presenting their data in the form of a circle graph. Requires students to collaborate and make real world connections to the skill!
This lesson can be modified to fit nearly any grade level. This lesson uses "The Duck Song", a hilarious youtube video and song, to teach students to make inferences and identify character traits using evidence. Graphing and writing are incorporated as well for a great, well rounded lesson!
