Capture-Recapture with Proportional relationships

fish-2

Today in math we worked with proportions to figure out an estimate of the number of fish in our “Chesapeake Bay”.  Students used bowls of goldfish crackers and tagged a few fish by replacing them with pretzel fish.  Then they worked through steps of capture-recapture to determine an estimate of the number of fish in their “Bay”.  What a GREAT experiment and super math work!  Keep it up Seventh Grade!
