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 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.
Students identify possible combinations of scores from a dart thrown at a target. They also find the lowest possible score and individual throws from a given total score.
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.
