This was a fun little project (see this picture and next). We lined up cereal boxes from left to right, naughtiest to best choice. We got all the boxes down that we usually eat, and then added the ones the boys beg for. We then compared grams of sugar, protein and ingredients - where was whole grain in the list, what about sugar? #1 on list? #3? We ordered the cereals by their sugar:protein ratio. This involved some fractions - is 11:2 better or worse than 8:4?
