Our 6th grade students explored ratios and proportional reasoning through the Candy Ratio Project today. The students used fun-size bags of M&Ms and Skittles, to practice sorting, counting, and comparing candy colors to create ratios, equivalent ratios, and unit rates. This hands-on activity helps make abstract math concepts engaging, visual, and fun!
If you can’t reach us right away, just give us a moment and try again. We’re juggling calls, visitors, and all things Bulldog greatness 💙💛
Thanks for your patience and support, Bulldog Family! 🐾
