Paper Bag Probability
Learning Goals: Math, Data Management, Probability, Number Sense
- Pose a probability question to students, such as: "If we have 4 purple cubes and 2 green cubes in a bag, is it likely or unlikely to pick a green cube?"
- Pick out of the bag 10 times, and record which cube is pulled using tallies on chart paper.
- Students can be encouraged to guess which cube will be pulled out each time.
- Students can play in partners and rotated who chooses the item and who records the tally.
Two of any small material could work for this activity!
