Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Green Cravings performance also includes:

Build up a bag of green. Pupils determine the number of green Skittles in a snack bag and come up with a way to determine how many snack bags it would take to create one bag of only green Skittles. Classmates share their methods and numbers with each other and find another representation of the mathematical relationship. Each scholar then creates a poster explaining the process and solution to the task.
