In this Math Workshop, students will present the experiment they designed in the Challenge activity and share their observations about the results of the experiment.

In the Warm-Up, students will review three ways to organize the possible outcomes of an experiment—in a list, in a table, and in a tree diagram. In the Challenge, students will choose up to 10 objects, divide the objects into two groups, and determine the possible outcomes for picking one item from each group. Next, they’ll make predictions and use classroom manipulatives to design and conduct an experiment to test their predictions.

This Minilesson focuses instructional activities around a snack bar. It begins by asking students to determine all possible outcomes of snack combos. Students go on to predict outcomes and test them by conducting experiments. Finally, students will compare their predictions to actual results. These activities ultimately show the relationship between theoretical and experimental probability. The Minilesson also provides opportunities for practice through multiple-choice questions.
