Statements about Probability

Submitted by Frances Neill on Wed, 10/28/2009 - 20:01

In this unit students make spinners to show the probability of events. They will make statements about probabilities shown on spinners and evaluate statements made by other classmates.

Level Two > Statistics

Achievement Objectives:

Achievement Objective: Compare statements with the features of simple data displays from statistical investigations or probability activities undertaken by others.

Achievement Objective: Investigate simple situations that involve elements of chance, recognising equal and different likelihoods and acknowledging uncertainty.

This is a level 3 statistics activity from the Figure It Out series.

Level Three > Statistics

Achievement Objectives:

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

Houses

Submitted by Frances Neill on Mon, 01/05/2009 - 22:52

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.

Level Three > Geometry and Measurement

Achievement Objectives:

Achievement Objective: Use linear scales and whole numbers of metric units for length, area, volume and capacity, weight (mass), angle, temperature, and time.

Achievement Objective: Classify plane shapes and prisms by their spatial features.

Achievement Objective: Represent objects with drawings and models.

Achievement Objective: Use a co-ordinate system or the language of direction and distance to specify locations and describe paths.
