This problem solving unit is suitable for Level 5 (or Level 6) students.

Many games of chance and activities in maths text books involve rolling two dice and combining the scores, usually by addition. Students often find the probabilities of such events difficult to calculate as they are confused between events (eg a score of 4) and outcomes (eg 3 and 1, 2 and 2, 1 and 3). This unit makes use of a variety of activities where the number of outcomes in the sample space is clearly different from the number of events.

 

Level Five > Statistics
Achievement Objectives:

Achievement Objective: Compare and describe the variation between theoretical and experimental distributions in situations that involve elements of chance.
Achievement Objective: Calculate probabilities, using fractions, percentages, and ratios.
