I enjoyed doing this lesson with the kids. It is a great way to introduce sampling methods and integrate the demeanors of scientists. My kids were very engaged due to the pizza intro and the M&M's - which helped them focus on the math part. With 6th graders, I found it much easier to steer them towards a sample size of 10 so that the math part would be easier. It might be fun to do it again and use a different sample size once they have the idea down.
