M&M Fraction, Decimal, Percent Conversions
Students will receive a baggie with a variety of colored M&M's. Their job will be to see how many of each color they have and then convert that into a fraction, decimal and percent.
For example, if a student has 4 out of 10 blue M&M's, it would be 2/5 for a reduced fraction, 0.4, and 40%!
DO NOT EAT YOUR M&Ms UNTIL YOU ARE TOLD!!
