Spinning Sums Spinning Sums Lesson Overview Students collect data by spinning two spinners and creating sums, organize the data, and make conclusions from the data. Mathematics Overview Students use ideas of sampling, possible outcomes, probability, and fractions to make conclusions about the expected results of spinning two spinners and making sums. Discuss the results represented on the class bar graph. Discuss the class's results. Students can compare your results with another group's.
Students can repeat their trials to see if they get the same results.
Students can design a spinner that would give whole number sums from 4 through 8 when spun twice and determine by experimenting which sum happens most often.
