Popcorn Math!
Math students in Dr. Sharp's class did “Popcorn Math” on October 20. Dr. Sharp poured out one bag of microwave popcorn on the table, students made four stacks, then counted the popped and unpopped kernels. They then showed the decimal, fraction and percent representation for each category. Pretty fun!
