Probability with lollies

Today we practised probability using fruit burst lollies. First we counted the lollies we were using. Then we counted how many of each colour. Then I had to work out what the probability was of picking out each colour. I picked 12 lollies - 4 red, 2 yellow, 1 purple, 3 green, 2 orange. The probability of picking orange was 2 in 12. The probability of picking green was 3 in 12. The probability of picking red was 4 in 12. The probability of picking yellow was 2 in 12. The probability of picking purple was 1 in 12. I learnt that the probability of picking red was higher because there was a higher number in the bag. I learnt that the probability of picking purple was low because there was a lower number in the bag.
