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!

Engaging Activity
Met expectations
As soon as my students hear M&M activity, they were excited!
Engaging and practical probability lesson
Met expectations
Great value
This M&M activity provided an effective, hands-on way to introduce the concepts of theoretical and experimental probability. My students stayed highly engaged throughout the entire lesson because they were able to use real data they collected themselves. It helped clarify the distinction between what should happen mathematically versus what happens in a real-world experiment. The resource met my expectations and was a great value for the price.
Fun Activity
My students really liked this activity because of candy and how it introduced probability
A well-crafted resource
This was a great resource! My students were engaged.
This product was exactly what I needed to supplement my lesson in the classroom. It aligned perfectly with my objectives and helped reinforce key concepts for my students. Easy to use, clear, and effective.
Love this resource! Used it for multiple age groups learning the same subject of probability.
Students were very motivated to do the activities in order to eat the candy after.
Overall, I would recommend this resource to other educators. It really helped deepen my students' understanding and made learning fun, despite a few minor setbacks. I look forward to using it again in future lessons!
