Probability and conversation hearts!

This week students have been working with probability and what better way than with left over Valentine's Day candy? Students created tables to collect and organize their data. Once they wrote the probability as a fraction, they reduced to lowest terms. Most of the candy boxes had 28-30 pieces in them, so students extended their learning by predicting how many of each color there would be if there were 60, 90, and 120 pieces.
