Probability / Likelihood Gumball Machine Cut and Paste Activity

My students always love when we start learning about probability and likelihood.  There is something about the random probability of choosing a certain item that intrigues them.  My cut and paste activity involving gumball machines always is a big hit with my students, and allows them to think about the probability or likelihood of randomly choosing a certain color from the gumball machine.

Students will be cutting and gluing 12 gumball machines according to their probability or likelihood of randomly choosing a gumball. There are 2 versions: (1) Black & white, and (2) Color.

These look great hang up around the classroom or on bulletin boards!
