AO1: Investigate simple situations that involve elements of chance by comparing experimental results with expectations from models of all the outcomes, acknowledging that samples vary.

What's in the bag?

In this unit we experiment with cubes to make predictions about likelihood based on our observations. With these experiences the students find out that with probability there is no way of knowing for sure that will happen.

Counting on Probability

This week we investigate ways of systematically counting all the possible outcomes of an event. One approach that we focus on is the use of tree diagrams.

Predict away

In this unit we take samples of blocks from a bag and use them to make predictions about the blocks that the bag actually contains. The students learn that although we can't be 100% certain we can use the information that we gather from sampling to make reasonable predictions.

Long Running

In this unit we take samples of blocks from a bag and use them to make predictions about the blocks that the bag actually contains. We discuss the difference between theoretical and experimental probabilities.

Spinners

This unit uses one of the digital learning objects, Spinners, to support students as they explore probability. It includes problems and questions that can be used by the teacher when working with a group of students on the learning object, and ideas for independent student work.

Heads and Tails

Three coins are tossed. A player wins if two heads and a tail come up. The unit looks at, analyses, and extends, this game of chance.

Murphy's Law

In this unit, students will explore the commonly held believe that if anything bad can possibly happen it will and at the most inopportune time. They will be encouraged to look at events involving chance and predict the likelihood of certain outcomes by both trialling the event and analysing it theoretically. There is a lot of work in this unit so you might like to spread it over more than one week or do different parts at different times of the year. Some of the simulations are reasonably complicated so it may take studetns most of a lesson until they have come to grips with the rules involved.

Houses

This unit seeks to connect learning outcomes across all five content strands, number, geometry, statistics, algebra, and measurement.  The context of houses is used to develop concepts such as drawing and modelling 3-dimensional objects, using co-ordinate systems to locate position, finding all the possibilities of events, and identifying paths through simple networks.  The unit provides an excellent vehicle for students to use a broad range of problem solving strategies.
