This is an engaging a fun activity for students to do centered around fractions.
Students will create a gumball machine using the stencils provided, and then use up to five different colored pom poms, stickers, or paper as their gumballs. I gave each of my students a total of 12 pom poms.
The students are to find the fractional part of each color out of the whole set of gumballs.
**As a fun bonus, I gave each of my students real bubble gum to chew on during this project!**
This is a quick, fun, and simple activity where students can find fractions within their name!
Students will find the fractional part of the consonants in their name as well as the vowels, from the the total number of letters in their name.
This activity is a fun way to look at fractions in a different way!
This resource can be used for a great interactive fractions activity!
