Candy Corn Math

Oh how the tiny white, orange, and yellow sugary treat makes us think of fall! Students helped me figure out how many pieces of candy corn I bought last weekend when I scooped up 5 bags of it on sale. They first had to figure out how many pieces were in each bag. We looked at the Serving size and servings per bag to help us. There were 24 pieces in a serving and 5 servings per bag.  Students decided to multiply 24x5, giving us a total of 120 pieces per bag. Then they knew to multiply 120 pieces in each bag by 5 (the number of bags I bought).  Students showed their work on what else.......a piece of candy corn!
