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?

Our child has ADHD, and at home she fights us about schoolwork. At Mathnasium, she is in the right environment for learning and fun. They come home happy. It has helped them catch up to their grade level.
This is refreshing, considering the resistance we felt in the public school systems, such as report card comments that they need to "try harder" instead of addressing our child's individual strength and limitations as assessed with validated tools, which information they were privy to.

My son (13) and daughter (10) love the staff. We do a mix of At-home and In-center sessions.
They look forward to their appointments each week. Also, the point system is a real incentive.
They both leverage the homework help sessions when needed. My daughter's school grades in math have gone from her lowest to her highest!

I think the program is beneficial. My grandson is making steady progress. I am especially appreciative of the flexibility and prompt responses. Sometimes we have to change lesson times or I call to speak to someone and without fail, they are able to accommodate our requests.
The staff is knowledgeable and relate well to students.

We have been attending Mathnasium since March, when covid started. It was initially to cover the gap with school and has become so much more. My kids are genuinely excited to attend, especially after they are done with a session and come out beaming with confidence and feeling accomplished. It has been a great investment in their growth and development.

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!
