M&M Caper

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Students participate in a game with M&M's to be introduced to percents and ratios. Individually, they estimate and record the number of candies they believe the bag holds and the amount of each colored candy. They open the bag and count the actual numbers and convert it into percent and decimal form. They also graph their results to end the lesson.
