Skittles Proportion Activity
Students are to be provided a bag of skittles. They are going to use proportions and ratios to determine if there are the same number/ratio of each color in all different sized bags.
I had students work in groups of 2 for this activity. Within the activity I broke it up into three different sections; a pre-lab, lab, and post-lab portion. Students make initial guesses/hypothesis, test out their theory, use proportions and ratios to analyze their results and graph data.

Density Lab - Discovering the Densities of Coke and Diet Coke
This laboratory experiment (Discovering and Comparing the Densities of Coke and Diet Coke) is written in the scientific format. Students make hypotheses regarding the densities of coke and diet coke, observe the physical properties, and use mathematical reasoning to discover the reason for the density differences between these two materials. Students are always shocked by the outcome of this experiment. This laboratory write-up can be used in isolation, or can be supplemented with comparison

M & M's Probability Experiment
In this experiment, the students learn about the basics of probability and what happens depending on the sample size. The students predict based on a sample what is in their bag and then find out if the are correct. Then using the actual data the students calculate probabilities based on individual, group and class results. They graph this information as well.
There are questions along with this activity that ask why and get at their thinking. In the end they compare the class results wit

In this class activity, students will use M&Ms to investigate the difference between experimental and theoretical probability. Each student should receive a bag with 50 M&Ms. In the first part of the activity, students calculate the experimental probability by tallying the number of times they choose each color when picking 50 times with replacement. They then count the exact number of each color to determine the theoretical probability. In part 2 of the activity, students compare t

Finding Mean in a Concrete Manner Using Graduated Cylinders
Finding MEAN in a concrete manner! This was a real "aha" moment for my students in actually understanding the concept of mean. Students are asked to fill graduated cylinders (or beakers) with water to the following amounts (in mL): 70, 30, 90, 20, 50. Then they fill in the corresponding amount with colored pencil on the worksheet. Students are asked to distribute the water in the cylinders so that each of the containers has the same amount of liquid and record the amount in each cylinder.
