After all students were given the chance to finish Test 4, I introduced the Chocolate Kisses Math Lab. I have posted the "letter" from Hershey that requests our team to conduct a bit of data collection. It is a bit "hokey", but fun for this time of year. It allows students to use data collection to find percentages and use the percents to hand construct a circle graph. Why, you may ask, am I required students to hand make a graph when we can use technology to create the graph? I want students to understand that the "fraction" (percent converted to decimal) is used to determine the degree representation on the circle.
