First week is over...after fun with M&Ms...

The first week of the second semester is over and I have an idea of how each class will fold out.  Yesterday, we did statistics with individual bags of M&Ms.  The students counted them and the number of each color.  Then in their group, they found the average of each and predicted the amount in my bag.  The real reason was so that definitions would be learned.  The students had to identify the population, individual, qualitative varibable, and many other pieces of the study.
