High Interest@home: Skittles Probability Challenge
May 23, 2020
We were really excited to bring our Skittles Probability activity to High Interest Days this semester. Unfortunately, we weren't able to do this in person before schools were closed.
Rather than totally give up though, we decided to create an @home version of the activity!
(An enthusiastic Skittles-loving assistant made this easy and fun too)
YOU can do this activity at home in these easy steps:
- Buy a bag of Skittles (Sharing or Grab N Go size works great!)
- Download this two page worksheet
- Clear off some table space
- Watch the Skittles Probability Challenge: Part 1 video
- Count those Skittles
- Watch the Skittles Probability Challenge: Part 2 video
- Email us your results!
Please share this with anyone who loves Skittles, or probability, or maybe even just needs something to keep their kids occupied for 30 minutes?

My son has struggled with math and especially with his own self confidence in approaching challenging math concepts. After just a few months of Mathnasium at-home sessions we are seeing a big improvement in skill level. He actually looks forward to the sessions and best of all he has an increased confidence in his own ability to tackle math concepts that used to be out of reach for him.

One of the best investments we've ever made in our daughter's education! Happy, encouraging learning environment--online and in the center. Patient, capable support from terrific instructors. Vastly improved confidence and test scores. Community-focused owner and center director. Wonderful experience!

Love everything about the program and the Wauwatosa center. Everyone is friendly, experienced and agile in their approach to giving kids solid tools to help them learn and love math. They’ve been incredibly flexible with the work from home set up and had it working in lest than a week. So great for parents and kids to provide that sense of normalcy and routine into a somewhat fragile ecosystem. Thanks!

Three things have made our Mathnasium experience extra special:
1) Capable, patient instructors
2) Happy, encouraging learning environment
3) Community-focused owners
Math test scores in the 70s used to have our daughter in tears. After her first Mathnasium session in December, she scored 100% on a math test. Ever since, she's been bringing home test scores in the high 90s and some 100s. So grateful to everyone who's helping our daughter achieve her potential!

We find such value in sending our daughter to Mathnasium. She has been able to make such gains that otherwise we may not have been able to make in making Math approachable. I am delighted with her peers that she works with and the helpful staff. She enjoys going to Mathnasium and making math likeable is the very best thing!

Mathnasium supports my child's learning needs. She continues to gain confidence in her abilities and looks forward to every session. The teachers are all attentive and engaging. It is a welcoming community.
My daughter's test scores immediately improved. Her attitude about math has changed since the beginning of school year too.
We are grateful for Mathnasium!

Mathnasium is more than I hoped for. It is more than homework help. They assess your kids and find out where the learning gaps are. Repeated lessons achieve mastery and confidence. Our daughter has had great success in less than 6 months. She increased her MAPS score by 14 points in 7th grade. The teachers are enthusiastic and prizes are limitless.

Our daughter has attended Mathnasium for almost 2 years. This is a place where she has gained confidence around Math and feels comfortable in this setting to feel vulnerable with Math.
As a parent of a child who has some math anxiety, I appreciate the considerate approach to which Mathnasium supports a child through their challenging areas. Our daughter enjoys friendly learning atmosphere where she came to think of her fellow students there as her Mathnasium buddies.

My daughter absolutely LOVES mathnasium! She has nothing but great things to say about the staff and program. She recently took her standardized testing at school and had a significant increase! This much progress after only 2 months with mathnasium. Waiting for the progress to show objectively has been a trying process for me as the inpatient mother, but now the results are in and I can see that mathnasium is helping her not just solve math problems but instead helping her to build a strong foundation in her mathematics. Very happy we found mathnasium and highly encourage others to give it a try!

Our experience was wonderful with Mathnasium. My daughter was struggling around a "C+" in 5th grade and entered into the program as middle school began. For 5 months, she never had anything less than a "A" grade in 6th grade.
My daughter enjoyed going 4 days after school, and I enjoyed the feedback from Mathnasium. It was a very good experience all around.

Our daughter has attended Mathnasium since the opening!
We were so happy to discover this program for her, as we had been searching for a better option to help her gain confidence in math and sharpen her skills. We tried private tutors in the past and wanted a different approach to learning. Mathnasium offered the type of support we were looking for, where she is coached but challenged to figure the math solutions for herself. The schedule is very flexible and fits into our busy week which is perfect for the busy family. She loves going there as she has developed a relationship with the instructors and her fellow students who attend. I highly recommend to anyone to check out what Mathnasium has to offer.

Our daughter has been attending Mathnasium for about 6 months and we are very proud of her growth. She is now working on grade level math skills, has gained stronger self-confidence, & has realized that math can be fun! The staff at Mathnasium Wauwatosa has been amazing, and we are grateful for their dedication and enthusiasm.

Our daughter had a hesitancy surrounding Math.
We hoped to strengthen her self confidence boards Math.
Joining Mathnasium has helped to fortify her Math skills and reduce her anxiety she felt towards Math. I see her now as a student that has developed a healthier attitude towards Math and I thank Mathnasium for strengthening her Math skills.

I would highly recommend Mathnasium of Wauwatosa because of the teachers. Through the program’s well designed skills practice, the staff has been able to develop an interest and enjoyment in math for my daughter. Today she is more attentive during math time at school and, more cooperative in completing her homework.

Derek & his entire team are excellent instructors. My son has made a successful & seamless transition into high school Algebra in great part due to his confidence and knowledge that he gained from Mathnasium. He truly looks forward to attending Mathnasium each week. Their unique approach to instructing challenges in a way that fosters an encouraging yet fun atmosphere. The customized plan and progress reports give me confidence as a parent that my son will not only be successful in math but continually be challenged to learn and grow.

Great experience! Mathnasium has help my daughter gain confidence in math. After a summer at Mathnasium, math this year has gone from being her absolutely least favorite subject to one of her top 3 favorites! And, she now says she “loves math” instead of “I can’t do math” - exactly the change I was hoping for!

It’s great to see the confidence build in Josie as she continues to grow stronger in her math skills. It must be good when she gets mad that she can’t go on Friday afternoons because they are closed! The entire staff is friendly and encouraging. We highly recommend mathnasium for everyone! It’s been a great experience for our family!

I am happy with the fact that my boy participated. It was pretty expensive for us and I'm not sure he has transferred his skills to his school math class. But he didn't dip during the summer and that was our goal.
I would have liked to know he was slacking/not focusing during time at Mathnasium sooner so we could have responded sooner.
It's very possible the staff were writing that on plenty of progress notes we'd get but it didn't register initially. Once we did realize an issue we finally reacted, and when he was held to it he was better at concentrating and did better overall.

I am very pleased with the Mathnasium experience. My great grandchild was so afraid of math that she had given up on trying. With 6 months of Mathnasium; she has become a child explaining what she was doing in her math class and even told me she was able to help her friend solve a fraction problem.
Yes, I will definitely refer any friends to the program. I, myself, will have her return if and when she needs additional tutoring.
Keep up the great service.

Derek and the team at Tosa Mathnasium are fabulous. They truly care about your child and helping them thrive. My son was a teenager when he started and they identified gaps in his knowledge that were holding him back. If my son put as much effort into improving himself as the team at Mathnasium put into trying to help him, he would have completed the program in half the time.
If you want your child to excel in math, or simply want a challenge for your child that is already advanced in math, this is the program for you.

My kids were behind. And working hars but just not getting to where they needed to be. They were frustrated and disheartened. I felt like they were going give up. I hated seeing them that way.
Mathnasium gets that. Since they started they have become more confident. They are starting to LIKE math. And they feel so SUCCESSFUL!
I live what this is doing for them.

The first two sessions at Mathnasium completely reversed an entire school year of a negative math experience for my fifth grader. All of the staff have such high regard for and incredibly positive interactions with their students.
My daughter is in good hands when I drop her off for her session. She consistently shares what she’s mastering and we’re having many positive math conversations at home.

We are so happy with the Mathnasium program. Our daughter will be a sophmore in high school and she didn't want a 3 month break in math before she started honors geometry. She also wanted to strengthen her algebra skills for the future. She loves going there and she already is more confident in her math abiliities. Math is fun. She made the final decision to do this after meeting with Derrick. We will definitely be back next summer!

Our discussion on Donae's assessment was positive and I see results with a 43% increase from the first assessment. This improvement was the results I needed to keep her active in the program. We discussed the areas she needs to focus on during the coming weeks and that is a plus for the summer.
Thanks to all of the tutors for helping her have a "positive" attitude about math. I am confident that she will be ready for 6th grade math this fall if she continues this path.

The program is flexible and the staff is easy to communicate with. The price is reasonable and 2 workout places near by so I can work out while my son is at mathnasium.
But most of all my son is a reserved individual and has been at our parish school his entire life. My son (Tye) sometimes needs a push to try different things but he loves going to mathnasium. I think being at mathnasium has helped him be a bit more out going. He is even looking forward to his summer activities which includes mathnasium and talking about his first homecoming next school year.
I don't have to plead with him to go to mathnasium, he is always willing to go.
Also, when he gets in the car after a session he is excited about what he has accomplished as well as meeting some new kids.
Thank you Mathnasium!
