Math
Message
Use the Math Message to assess students’ understanding of the concept of
percent. Students are making adequate progress if their written responses
name the whole as 100% and refer to pieces of a given color as a fraction or
percent of the whole.

WHOLE-CLASS
DISCUSSION
Students share how they would find the percent of each color in
the bowl. Most will probably suggest counting the total number of
candies in the bowl as well as the number of each color in order to
find the fraction and then the percent of each color.
If looking at a sample is not mentioned, ask:
●
How could we find the percent of each color in the bowl without
counting every piece?
●
Would it help to look at a sample of candies from the bowl and
count the number of each color in the sample?
●
How many candies should we include in the sample?
Tell students that they are going to do a candy-counting
experiment. The results will give them information they can use to
predict the percent of each color in the bowl. Explain that the total
number of candies in the bowl is called the population. To
support English language learners, write sample and population
on the board and explain their meanings in this
mathematical context.

of Candy Colors
(Math Journal 1, p. 180; Math Masters, p. 430)
Have each student take 5 pieces of candy from the bowl without
looking (10 candies per partnership). Ask partners to count and
record the number and percent of each candy color in their small
sample on journal page 180. Tell them to put the candy back in
the bowl when they have finished recording their results.
3. Finally, your class will count the total number of candies in the bowl and the
number of each color.

c. Do you think that a larger sample is more trustworthy than a smaller
sample?
Yes
Sample answer: Smaller samples
vary more. A larger sample can be
trusted to give a better picture of the real
situation than a smaller one.
Explain your answer.

Math Journal 1, p. 180
With samples of 10, percents are easy to calculate because the
fractions easily convert to percents. For example, 4 yellows out of
4
40
10 candies is 10 100 40% of the sample. Point out that sample
sizes are often chosen to make calculations easy.
Have each partnership make a circle graph to show their sample
result for 10 candies. They can color the sections of the graph with
the candy colors. Students may use the Percent Circle on their
Geometry Templates and circles you provide from copies of Math
Masters, page 430.
NOTE Counting a whole population is rarely
possible, which is why one is concerned with
practical sampling and sampling sizes. Even
if it is possible to count a whole population, it
is often tedious and time-consuming.

ACTIVITY
the Basis of a Sample
(Math Journal 1, p. 180)
Ask 10 partnerships to display their circle graphs, report their
results, and record them on the board. Discuss the variations in
these results. Individual small samples of 10 may have many of
one color, few of another color, and none of some colors.
Combine the data from the small partner samples to make a large
sample. Tally the results by color on the board. Ask students to
record the tallies on journal page 180.
By choosing 10 pairs of students, the combined sample total is
100—making percent calculations simple.
Make a circle graph of the combined sample. Use the large circle
that you drew previously. (See Advance Preparation.) Ask

the following:
●

How do the small-sample results compare with one another?
Sample answer: The results for our small samples jump all over.
One of them shows 50% yellow, and one shows 10% yellow.
Guide students to predict and agree on what percent of each color
is in the bowl, and record these predictions on the Class Data Pad.
Then have them count the total number of pieces of candy in the
bowl and the number of each color. Record the results on
the board.
Ask students to find the percent of each color:
1. Name each color as a fraction of the total number of candy
pieces.

How do the results of the larger combined sample compare with
the small ones? Sample answer: The combined sample of 100 is
better. Every color is represented. The sample for 100 gives a
better picture than the sample for just 10.

How do your predictions compare with the actual results?
Sample answer: They are very close.

To apply students’ understanding of the relationship
between sample size and the reliability of predictions,
have students conduct the experiment on Math Masters,
page 169. Students choose an event with random outcomes—
flipping a coin or rolling a six-sided die. They predict and compare
the results of 10 and 100 trials. Then they predict the results for
1,000 trials, explain their prediction, and design an approach to
collect the actual results.
Discuss students’ predictions and their prediction methods.
Consider implementing one of their designs for collecting the
actual results for 1,000 trials. Have partners report their findings
to the class.
Predict the results for 1,000 trials, and explain your prediction.
Sample answer: Because the results have been very close
