Our first project during 7.RP was on “Ratios, Proportions, & Scale” and our second project is on “Percents” with a focus on converting fractions, decimals, and percents.

When teaching fractions, decimals, & percents, I try to make it fun because the students tend to struggle with converting between the three. By bringing in Skittles, the students will be able to complete the activity in an enjoyable way! I did this activity a few years ago and it was a great success! I… Read More Fun with Skittles – An Activity with Fractions, Decimals, & Percents
