MATH EXPERIMENT
Percents, decimals and fractions are all similar because they are all a __________ of a __________. If I flipped a coin a bunch of times, the number of times it lands on heads ought to be the same as the number of times it lands on tails. The number of times the coin lands on heads ought to be ½, or .5 or 50%. Today, we are going to do an experiment to find out if that is true:
STEP 1: Flip a coin 25 times. Decide which side is heads and which side is tails.
The number of times it landed heads: _______
The number of times it landed tails: _______
STEP 2: Create a table to display your data
