Students interpret information in a frequency table to answer probability.

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 survey data about sports results to estimate the probability of the next person's answer.

Students interpret information presented in a tree diagram to calculate the probability of various events.

Students predict the probability about the product of two dice and test their prediction by conducting an experiment that estimates the probability.

Students interpret a tree diagram to answer questions about the probability of selecting certain combinations.

Students view a table of children's votes for their favourite All Black and answer questions interpreting the data.

Students identify the most likely combination of throws for a fair coin, and explain their reasons.

Students interpret information in a frequency table to decide the probability of winning prizes in a competition.

Students complete a tree diagram to illustrate all the different combinations of height and colour of four candles and evaluate probabilities for some combinations.

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 explain who is most likely to win a game based on spinners, and how the game could be made fair.

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.

Students predict the outcome of 100 coin tosses, then carry out a test of their prediction, recording their results.

Students count the number of pairs thrown in a series of throws of three dice to evaluate the long-run relative frequency of getting a pair.

Students predict whether two dice games are fair and give their reasons. They then play each game (investigate) fifty times and explain 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.

Students interpret data presented in a frequency table to calculate percentages and make comparisons.

Students construct a spinner and use it to investigate predictions of the probability of outcomes. Findings are recorded in a student designed table.

Students interpret information in a table to answer probability questions.

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.

Students list all possible combinations from six different articles of clothing.

Students calculate how many possible combinations there are when given different numbers of menu items.

Students record all the different combinations of lunches that could be chosen from five possibilities.
