This activity was a continuation of the color wheel fractions activity from last week. This time, students introduced black and white into their color-mixing "recipes". We discussed how adding these neutrals creates tints (colors with white), shades (colors with black), and tones (colors with gray).
After blending the paints into new colors, students used fraction terminology to describe the proportions of each color they used. This was definitely an approximation rather than an exact science, but most students got the idea! They really had fun coming up with descriptive names for their color creations, and I was impressed with their enthusiasm!
