This Will Stump You!

Hello again, I am sharing about tree diagrams today which honestly used to freak me out. Before this lesson I felt like there was never going to be a point in my life were tree diagrams actually made sense. Although, with the help of this lesson and a few black and white pom pom's, I am officially a pro now! ;) So today I am going to share the activity that made tree diagrams life changing for me!

Here’s the lesson below:


This lesson was extremely helpful for me because I was able to run the experiment and use it to create my tree diagram. Before this lesson I didn't understand the concept of tree diagrams and why we use them. The tree diagram helps us to determine all possible outcomes and then we can find the probability of certain events occurring. I would use this lesson in my classroom one day as I think having students running the experiment and creating a tree diagram really helps them gain a deeper knowledge rather than just doing the math.
