Then, draw a circle on your paper using a cup. Divide your circle into 8 equal parts (If you do a + and then an x, it will give you 8 equal parts). Then, color 3 pieces red, color 1 piece yellow, and color 4 pieces blue. Now, it’s time for the experiment! Spin your spinner 50 times by using your pencil to hold the paper clip at the center of the circle. Mark, or tally, each time it lands on yellow, red, or blue. Then write a fraction for each color. For example, if your spinner lands on red 9 times, your fraction would be 9/50. Which color do you expect the spinner to land on most?
