IB MAA HL EXPLORATION
Problem statement
Objectives
As mentioned in the introduction, our aim for this exploration is to find the total number of
M&M’s in a packet for us to share together equally. So, we aim to model a function that links
the volume of one of the M&M’s with the total weight that is stated on the packaging. By the
time this function can be utilised to determine the number of M&M’s in the packaging,
another function will be designed to estimate the total number of M&M’s that can be shared
equally among us, specifically for four people.
Scope
For our exploration, we are going to experiment to determine the number of M&M’s in a
packet. The materials that will be used are M&M’s, a vernier caliper, a ruler and a digital
weighing scale.
