This practical task requires students to determine the number of different coloured beads needed to thread onto a necklace by interpreting different decimals.
Students are asked four short questions that require them to use a table that contains a count of the kind of books borrowed from a library for a month.
This practical task requires students to determine the number of different coloured beads needed to thread onto a necklace by interpreting different percentages.
Students calculate the number of free gifts distributed at a Tennis Championship given the number of people entering and the frequency of the gifts given away.
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 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.
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 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.
