What educators are saying
my students loved this! It was broken down and very easy to use with all students. I will be using it every year!
This is a super fun activity for students. They are able to quickly grasp the difference between theoretical and experimental probability.
Description
Students need to find the probability of picking certain colored M&Ms, and asked to change them into decimals, fractions, and percents. They are asked to draw specific M&Ms at random for experimental probability problems. They are asked to make a few predictions, as well. This is a lengthy lesson and takes a while to get through, so make sure you have enough time to get through it. It can be done in 2 days, and if you need to use colored chips or counters instead, go for it!
