Students complete a tree diagram to show the possible combinations of marbles and counters in two bags.

Based on a results table, students respond to questions about the probability of events occurring when an arrow is spun and lands on different colours.

Students complete a chart showing the possible combinations of numbers from two dice throws. They then list all combinations that add up to seven and nine.

Students identify outcomes from a dice throw, and find the lowest and highest scores.

Students use pictures to help them list the 24 different combinations of four children sitting in a row of desks.

Students complete a table to show all the combinations, and work out the probability, of numbers possible on the top faces of two dice. They then use the table to list combinations that total 8 and 11.
