As we continue to progress in math, we've begun looking at probability and chance events.  Here, the students are (carefully!) pouring out thumbtacks and finding how many landed point vs. point down.  After each pairing did 100 tacks, we were able to determine that there is around a 20% chance that, when poured out, a thumbtack will land point down.
