Students interpret information in a table to answer probability questions.

In this practical task, students use a coloured spinner and record the frequency of colours occurring. They then use their findings to record the probability of each event and interpret these.

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

Students determine the probability of finding a lost cat in various locations marked on a grid map.

Students recognise equal and different likelihoods when playing a game of chance.

This task is about students selecting 'always', 'maybe' or 'never' to describe the probability of a range of events happening.

Students answer questions about the probabilities that relate to a map of an island.

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

Students work out and count the different meal combinations available as shown in a tree diagram.

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 use a number line to show as a fraction, the probability of the outcomes of different coin throws.

Students select answers to show whether the chance of certain events happening is even or not even.

Students decide which arrow on three spinners is most likely to point to white, and explain their reasons.

For this NEMP task students work out all possible combinations in a table tennis contest.

Students work out the number of possible combinations of clothes three people could wear.

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 use pictures of food items to work out all the different combinations of combo meals that can be bought at Yum Takeaways.

Students use the picture cards provided to explore and list all the possible combinations of race cars at a starting line.

Using three dice, students investigate and list the different possible combinations of odd numbers showing on the top face of each dice.

Students use a cut out figure and clothes to record all the possible combinations from 2 shorts, 3 shirts, and 2 caps.

In this practical task students use a paper doll and cut out clothing to work out all possible clothing combinations.

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 use fractions to describe the probability of an arrow landing on different bands of a target.
