Students review basic math skills, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, finding averages, and working with percentages. They see how these skills apply to real life situations.

Students, using small individual bags of M&Ms, engage in activities including; estimating, sorting, graphing, mean, median, mode, fractions, percentage, and averaging.

In this averaging learning exercise, students solve four word problems. Each problem presents students with a situation involving three or more subjects and asks students to compute the average height, time, age, or number of students.
