March 1, 2010

Having fun while using fractions, VMNH MHC after 3 students sit down
to find probabilities with candies. They were instructed to select a number of candies and
make note of the colors that appeared. After 18 successive selections, they were asked to make comparisons of the probability of retreiving each color with what they actually found while doing the hands-on experiment. In the end, the sweet candies were enjoyed,
but only after a little math was 'sorted out'.

Selecting candies from the bags.



Students make comparisons and calculations,



Make note of their results,



And then share them with the class for study!
