For My Prekindergartners:
I would definitely shrink the problem down for the four and five year-olds,
maybe down to three items. I would give them individual skittle bags along with a
tree diagram worksheet to fill out. I believe the candy will be a good way to catch
their attention. We would leave a red, yellow, and green skittle in the bag and put
the others aside. We would discuss probability as we will out the worksheet.
