Description
Looking for a fun and engaging lesson to introduce ratios that your students will love? This activity gives a break from the normal routine and best of all - it ends with food! Students will practice with collecting data from a bag of Skittles, then using this data will fill in a table where they must write three types of ratios and the corresponding reduced fraction. On the back are several questions that assess student understanding of ratios. My kiddos stayed engaged the entire time with the incentive of food waiting for them at the end.
Who says you can't have fun while learning?! ☺
Students will practice with:
- ratio vocabulary
- collecting data
- writing ratios in the terms of a to b, a:b, a/b
- part to part, part to whole, and whole to part ratios
- observations and reasoning
- fractional ratios, tables, and double number lines
- equivalent fractions
Please note: this is a replica of my M&M activity, just with Skittles instead of M&Ms. If you would like the same activity with a different candy, please click HERE.
