problem_activity: Warm-up
The purpose of this warm-up is to elicit methods students are already using to organize their understanding of different outcomes. In this lesson, students are asked to use different structures to think about the outcomes of experiments that involve multiple steps, so this activity should give you an idea of how students are approaching the problem on their own.
Launch
Arrange students in groups of 2. Tell students they should organize their work so it can be understood by others. Give students 1 minute of quiet think time, 3 minutes for partner discussion, and follow up with a whole-class discussion.
Student Facing
How many different meals are possible if each meal includes one main course, one side dish, and one drink?
|  main courses   | side dishes | drinks |
|-----------------|-------------|--------|
| grilled chicken |    salad    |  milk  |
| turkey sandwich | applesauce  | juice  |
|   pasta salad   |      —      | water  |

Activity Synthesis
Select several groups to share their methods for organizing their thoughts about the different meals that are possible.
Consider these questions for the discussion:
“How did you know you counted all of the different possible meals?”
“How did you know you didn’t repeat any meals?”
