What is in the bag?
Write down 2 colours on 6 pieces of paper. You could do 5 of one colour and 1 of another colour or 2 and 4 or even 3 or 3. Then what you do is you put them in a bag and go to someone and start pulling them out and tell them what the color is. Then keep doing that until you want to stop then ask them what color do you think is less or more or is it even?
I played with my brother Joe Joe. We played 2 games. On the first one the 2 colors were pink and red. there were 2 pink and 4 red. There were a lot of pinks pulled out but after 4 pinks the red started to show up. Joe Joe guessed pink but he was wrong. We played again but with different colours yellow and green. I tried to trick him by doing 2 greens and 4 yellows again but it didn't work because he won.
Why don't you try play the game at your house.

Hi Molly
ReplyDeleteGreat description of your maths game. I will try this with my children as well. I wonder you could try using two numbers instead of colours as well?

Thanks for sharing this blog post Molly. It was a great start to probability. I'm glad to hear Joe Joe got involved and that you had him guessing....go you!!! What other games are you familiar with that involve predictions? guessing?
