Sugar as a math lesson.

This Friday we had a really fun day in class.  This summer I stumbled upon info graphics and I love they way show information.  They are usually filled with numbers.  Here is the one I used in class.  The kids worked in partners.  One student had the info graphic open and the other student had this powerpoint open.  In class we did the first two slides together and had good conversations.  The kids were allowed to bring in pop and candy.  I used those numbers to teach ratios and proportions.  Then the partners worked at their own pace.  They got to eat snacks.  We had a blast.
