Today for math we had to play what's in the bag then write about it.
What do you need to play what's in the bag? A bag. Any object that will fit in a bag. They have to be different colours. You can use as many of that object as you want. A book and a pencil or pen.
How do you play what in the bag? You get somebody to put your objects in the bag. Then they shake them. Then the person who wants to play doesn't look and puts there hand and pulls out one object. Then you write down what colour you got. Then when you think you have figured out what colours are in the bag and how many there are you have a look in the bag.
Mum put three different colours in the bag and I pulled a plastic monkey. I picked one up ten times. After the ten times I decided that there were more blue than any other colour. So I had a look inside and there was four blue, three red and 2 yellow. Here was my tally of what I picked up Red, Blue, Blue, Yellow, Red, Blue, Red, Blue.
What colours did you get?

Hi Benjamin
ReplyDeleteGreat blog about the probability maths game. I like the idea of the object you used, you could also use different colour lego, marbles etc. It's great being able to involve your Mum in your learning as well. What other probability games do you know how to play?

Thanks for sharing this blog post Benjamin. You have explained what you did with clarity and it was a great start to our probability work. I'm glad to hear you involved your mum and that you persevered with many attempts at this game ....go you!!! What other games are you familiar with that involve making predictions or guessing?
