Survey Says...

This hands-on lesson covers fractions and percentages. Children will have a great time interacting with their fellow classmates and completing surveys as they learn to represent parts of a whole.

Learning Objectives

Students will be able to represent data as fractions and percentages.

Introduction

(5 minutes)

Ask students what a survey is. Ask them whether they've taken a survey before.
Explain that students will be taking their own surveys today in order to find out more about their classmates. * Students will be asking two questions of their classmates and collecting results. They will record these results as both fractions, e.g. 1/10, and percentages, e.g. 10%.
