Text Box: Jelly Bean Math
A Yummy Probability Activity

 

      What better way to learn about probability than to work with jelly beans?  Each pair of 4th graders were given a plate full of jelly beans.  They had to determine the probability of choosing each color.  After recording their data, each student chose 2 jelly beans to eat.  The students then had to determine how the probability for choosing each color had changed.  After recording their data, the pair was able to eat their jelly beans!
