M&M Percents: Calculating Parts of a Whole
For some students, fluently converting between fractions, decimals, and percents can take multiple years to master. Adding a bag of m & m's can provide some fun and motivation! In this activity, students will write a fraction to represent the “part of a whole” for each color in their bag of m & m’s. They will then convert each fraction into a decimal and a percent. The final step is to create a circle graph from their percentages.
