Engaging Fraction Assessment with Twizzler Candy for Elementary Students

This two-day assessment activity uses Twizzler candy to evaluate students' understanding of fractions. On Day 1, students walk to fraction posters (1/3, ¼, 1/8, and 1/12) to express their preference for Twizzlers, allowing teachers to assess who is misled by the denominator. The second day repeats the activity with moved posters and continues to assess their ability to compare fractions with the same numerators. This hands-on approach not only makes learning fun but also provides a dynamic way to gauge student comprehension of fractional concepts.

  1. Twizzler Trick Pre-assessment of fraction knowledge using Twizzler candy Jeanne Chauvin West Salem Elementary

  2. Day 1- Assessment of Fractions • Place fraction posters (1/3, ¼, 1/8 and 1/12) around the room and ask students to walk to the poster that shows the amount of a Twizzler that they would like to eat. • Assess which students get “tricked” by the denominator. • see the video

  3. Comparing fractions lesson • Cut Twizzlers to show fractions from the posters. Distribute to students. • Discuss comparing fractions with same numerators. Use symbols to compare. See the lesson

  4. Day 2- Twizzlers again • Use same posters as day 1 but move the location of the posters. • Tell students to move to the fraction of the Twizzler they would like to have. • Assess students understanding of comparing fractions with same numerators. • See the results from day 2
