Explanation/Summary:

Students will be given grid paper and allowed to make a design on their paper using the coloring utensils. Then they will use the fraction sheet to write how many squares of each color they have out of the whole number. The whole number of squares could be 100 or it could be out of another number. The students will then determine the percentage of each color and write that on the fraction sheet.
