That's "M-pressive" |
The names of eight U.S. states begin with the letter M (Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, and Montana). How many of the "M" states do you think the average person can name?
Ask at least fifteen people to name all of the U.S. States that begin with the letter M. Allow each person 1 minute to respond. Record the responses in a frequency table like the one below. Then write a paragraph describing your results.
