    Students will collect and analyze data from an M&M probability experiment to compare theoretical and experimental probability. They will organize M&M colors into a data table, calculate probabilities, and interpret results. An exit slip will assess understanding of the difference between theoretical and experimental probability and when it is important to know the difference. The lesson targets developing proficiency in making sense of problems, constructing arguments, and using appropriate tools.

    Lesson Plan

    Course Name: College and Career Readiness: Mathematics

    Unit: Geometry
    Date: 3/11/14
    Lesson: M&M Project
    Learning Target: As a result of todays class, students will be able to:
    Obtain and organize data in a table. Students will be able to interpret the data through the use of probability to compare theoretical and experimental
    probability.
    Formative Assessment:
    Students will work with graphs on gathering and organizing data on M&Ms. While they are working teacher will walk around and make sure students
    are on task and answer any questions.

    Exit slip will ask them to explain the difference between theoretical and experimental probability based on the
    data they collected. The exit slip will also ask for an example of when knowing the difference between these
    could be important.
    Probing Questions for Differentiation on Mathematical Tasks
    Assessing Questions
    Advancing Questions
    How would you find theoretical probability?
    If you redid the experiment what would be different? Why do you think
    How would you find experimental probability?
    that?
    Are these always the same?
    If we looked at a larger number of M&Ms what do you think would
    Will two of the same experiment always give the same experimental
    happen to the experimental probability?
    probability?
    If someone asked you the probability of an M&M dying would you give
    them the experimental or the theoretical probability? Why?
    Mathematical Practice: Which student mathematical practice(s) will be targeted for proficiency development during this lesson?

    Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.

    Lesson Plan

    Activity/Tasks

    Beginning of class routines: Students will


    write down the directions from the board onto
    their own paper so they can refer back to it if
    they have questions.

    Course Name: College and Career Readiness: Mathematics

    What will the teacher be doing?


    Take attendance. Once that is taken walk around
    room and make sure students write down the
    bellwork. After that is done, go over directions
    with the students and explain what the
    experiment is.

    What will the students be doing? How will


    students be actively engaged in each part of the
    lesson?
    Write down the directions onto their
    own paper.

    5 minutes

    Activity/Task 1: M&M project.


    30 minutes

    Hand out papers. Go over all directions for


    project and have students answer the first two
    questions before handing out M&Ms. Answer
    any questions that come up while going over
    directions. After students start, teacher will walk
    around and make sure students are on task and
    are working correctly. Answer any questions that
    come up and redirect those who are off task.

    Closure: Exit slip. Hand out exit slip that has


    two questions on it.
    1. Explain the difference between
    experimental and theoretical
    probability.
    2. Give at least one example of
    when this would be important to

    Walk around classroom making sure students are


    on task. If not ask them where they are stuck and
    how I can help them get started.

    Read directions while teacher is going


    after them.
    Answer the first two questions of the
    worksheet
    Fill in theoretical probability graph on
    graphing worksheet
    Count up the number of M&Ms for the
    experiment
    Gather experimental probability data and
    create experimental probability graph on
    graphing worksheet.
    Answer the questions on the exit slip.
    If they get lost they can work together
    on it.

    know.
    5 minutes
    Materials Needed:
    1 cup per group
    About 50-100 M&Ms per group
    M&M project handout

    Technology Tips:
    Have the directions on the board for as long as possible so students can
    refer back to it.
