In this practical task, students use a coloured spinner and record the frequency of colours occurring. They then use their findings to record the probability of each event and interpret these.
Students predict the outcome of throwing five dice and confirm their predictions by conducting an experiment and calculating probabilities. After discussing how to get better estimates, they pool their results with others to get a more accurate estimate of how good their predictions were.
In this practical task, students collect data on the number of people in cars passing the school. They then record this, in a table and use the information to make a prediction.
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.
