Holiday Candy Sales

In this updated activity, students will analyze U.S. holiday candy sales data to calculate the approximate amount spent on candy for each holiday. Using real-world percentages, they will explore different strategies and organize their calculations. They will also reflect on the efficiency of their chosen methods and think critically about trends in candy sales. Suitable for Grades 5–7.

📝The starter slides set the stage with engaging prompts about candy sales for the holidays 

⏰45–60 minutes, including the starter activity, depending on the depth of discussion.
