Description
M&M Probability Activity! A fun and interactive way to get students engaged in learning about probability. This activity can be used with M&Ms, Skittles, SweeTARTS, etc. Get creative! Once the students complete the activity, they get to eat the candies. The best part is that each student's experiment will be different than another students!

I looked at a lot of Skittles and M&Ms probability activities and pulled together my favorite parts of each for a final project in my mathematics classroom last school year. I have saved my final version, so I won't be using this exact resource again.
Any time candy is involved seems to be a hit with my students! This definitely was too!!

CCSSHSS-CP.B.6
Find the conditional probability of 𝘈 given 𝘉 as the fraction of 𝘉’s outcomes that also belong to 𝘈, and interpret the answer in terms of the model.
CCSSHSS-CP.B.7
Apply the Addition Rule, 𝘗(𝘈 or 𝘉) = 𝘗(𝘈) + 𝘗(𝘉) – 𝘗(𝘈 and 𝘉), and interpret the answer in terms of the model.
CCSSHSS-CP.B.8
Apply the general Multiplication Rule in a uniform probability model, 𝘗(𝘈 and 𝘉) = 𝘗(𝘈)𝘗(𝘉|𝘈) = 𝘗(𝘉)𝘗(𝘈|𝘉), and interpret the answer in terms of the model.
