Students calculate the lengths of circles and straight lines on an oval athletics track from its given radius and total length, and show their working.
Students order small numbers written in standard form, and explain why they are ordered in that way. The numbers are the lengths of some microscopic animals.
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.
