Interpreting statistical and chance situations resources

In this practical task, students use pictures of meat and salad fillings to work out all possible combinations of sandwiches. An optional activity is to make actual sandwiches.

Students choose the best statement from five options to describe the probability of receiving notes and coins in a board game.

Students select from the words 'certain', 'likely', 'unlikely', and 'impossible' to show the probability of a spinner landing on a defined area.

Students determine the correct probabilities for a series of coin throws.

Students record all the different combinations of sandwiches from two types of bread and three fillings.

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 show understanding of probability by selecting a fraction to represent the chances of picking coloured marbles from a cup.

Pairs of students play a game with four dice, calculate the probability of winning the game, comment on how to get a more accurate estimate of the probability, and explain whether the game is fair based on their results.

Students use fractions to describe the probability of receiving cellphones of certain colours as a prize.
