    1) Students will create a probability area model using cups of candies to represent possible outcomes of selecting candies from two cups. 2) The area model is constructed as a 3x4 grid, with rows representing the 3 candies in Cup 1 and columns representing the 4 candies in Cup 2. 3) Students then use the area model to calculate probabilities of different outcomes, such as the probability of selecting a specific candy combination.

    Probability Area Model Activity Companion

    Objective: 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:
    1.) Label one cup as “Cup 1” and a second cup as “Cup 2.”
    2.) Randomly choose 3 pieces of candy and put them into Cup r1. Then, randomly choose 4
    pieces of candy and put them into Cup 2 (it’s o.k. to have more than one of the same color).
    3.) Using your masking tape, construct a large square on the surface of your table or desktop.
    4.) Using your markers, label the left column of the square “Cup 1” and the top column of your square
    “Cup 2.”
    5.) Use a marker to complete your area model by creating 3 rows and 4 columns since there are
    3 choices in Cup 1 and 4 choices in Cup 2.
    6.) 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.
    7.) Move onto the challenge questions on the next page once you have completed your
    area model.
    Cup 2

    Cup 1 Cup 2
    Cup 1

    7) After building your area model, identify the TOTAL number of possible outcomes there
    are in this scenario.
    8) There are________ possible outcomes in total because…

    1
    9) Identify one outcome with a probability of 12
    : ________
    1
    10) Identify one outcome with a probability of 6
    : ________
    1
    11) Identify one outcome with a probability of 4
    : ________
    12) Identify one outcome with a probability of 0 : ________
    Challenge Questions:
    Describe what you think would happen if you were to randomly swap a piece of candy
    from Container 1 with a piece of candy from container 2. Would the outcomes change?
