Pattern Toss and collecting data

Yesterday we did an experiment in Math.

We tossed different patteren blocks to see how they would land.

They have to land on either an edge or their flat side.

We guessed our end results,

Then

We tossed and tallied.

If you toss only 2 times... it could be 50/50 

or it could be edge and edge....

we learned the more you tossed the more accurate your data will be!

Then we collected everyone's data and compiled it into a data chart today.

We had 4 shapes.

trapezoid 

hexagon

triangle

square

then we also taped 3 together to have:

3 trapezoids

3 hexagons

3 triangles

3 squares

Here is our data chart:

Then we took it one step deeper.... 

what if we taped more sets of 3 together... the "edge" surface space would increase

BUT 

the flat surface space will stay the same.

Math can be so fun!
