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 show understanding of probability by selecting a fraction to represent the chances of picking coloured marbles from a cup.

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 fractions to describe the probability of receiving cellphones of certain colours as a prize.

Students answer questions about a table showing hair and eye colour of students. Calculation is required.

Students read statements based on a bar graph and show understanding by marking whether each statement is correct.

Students show their understanding of a dot plot by responding to questions about the birth months of a class.

Students plan aspects of a statistical investigation about the most common birth month in Year 8, including designing a table for data collection.

Students select answers to show which child has the best chance of selecting their favourite coloured marble from a bag.

Students calculate the probability of students winning prizes when their names are put in a box with 100 names in it.

Students interpret a strip graph and relationships within the graph.

This task requires students to describe and compare line graphs of three different sets of data.

Students construct and label a line graph of time spent on Maths and Science homework, and answer questions interpreting the data.

Students answer questions and calculate means and ranges from a composite histogram of rainfall in two towns.

Students identify outcomes from a dice throw, and find the lowest and highest scores.

Students predict the likelihood of picking coloured counters out of a box.

Students use pictures to help them list the 24 different combinations of four children sitting in a row of desks.

Students present data on monthly school pie sales in a pictograph, and add a title, a key, and a label for the x-axis.

Students interpret bi-variate data on a bar graph to answer questions about social media and age of users.

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

Students throw three coins, and answer questions on frequency, probability, and compare theoretical with observed outcomes.

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

Students state what things will affect how far a cube will travel when flicked in the middle with a ball-point pen, and conduct an experiment to see what happens in practice.

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.

Students construct a dot plot of fish seen at an aquarium from a tally chart, and answer questions interpreting the results.
