Students randomly select candy quantities into Container 1 and Container 2, build a 3-by-4 area model, label combinations with capital-letter abbreviations, and count total outcomes. Guided questions focus on listing outcomes, identifying totals, and matching example probabilities including zero-probability outcomes. Challenge questions ask about at least-one events, zero of a color, modifying the scenario so every outcome includes a chosen candy color, and predicting effects of swapping candies, with optional writing prompts.",{"@graph":14,"@context":72},[15,34,55],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/exam/","Exam",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/probability-area-model-activity-companion-guided-questions-challenge-questions/366126/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/probability-area-model-activity-companion-guided-questions-challenge-questions/366126.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":42,"@type":43},"anakgang17","Person",{"url":19,"name":45,"@type":46},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-11-07","2026-09-23",true,{"@type":52,"interactionType":53,"userInteractionCount":26},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":54},"ViewAction",{"@type":56,"mainEntity":57},"FAQPage",[58,64,68],{"name":59,"@type":60,"acceptedAnswer":61},"What

  Date:  \n__________  \nProbability Area Model Activity Companion  \nObjective: Students will develop a probability area model and use it to find probabilities of events. Materials: Masking tape, dry-erase markers, plastic cups/containers, assorted colored candies or marbles Directions:  \n1. ) Label one cup as “Container 1” and a second cup as “Container 2 .”  \n2. ) Randomly choose 3 pieces of candy and put them into Container 1 . Then, randomly choose 4 pieces of candy and put them into Container 2 (it’s o. k. to have more than one of the same color) .  \n3. ) Using your masking tape, construct a large square on the surface of your table or desktop.  \n4. ) Using your markers, label the left column of the square “Container 1” and the top column of your square“Container 2 .”  \n5. ) Use a marker to complete your area model by creating 3 rows and 4 columns since there are 3 choices in Container 1 and 4 choices in Container 2 .  \n6. ) Fill in each box inside the area model using capital letters to represent each combination. For example, RY would represent choosing Red first and Yellow second.  \n7. ) Move onto the challenge questions on the next page once you have completed your area model.  \nMASHUP MATH | Denver, CO | © 2016, MashUp Math, [LLC](LLC| www.mashupmath.com)[| www.mashupmath.com](LLC| www.mashupmath.com)  \nGuided Questions  \n1.)
