    • We are FOCUSING on expressing probability as a fraction, decimal and percentage
    • We are FOCUSING on the 'Probability Line' when DESCRIBING 'chance'
    • We are DISCUSSING and COMPARING cross country training times with buddies



    Kia ora 7F1.  This week we continue our focus on the language of probability and chance experiments.  We will be applying this knowledge to our future PPDAC investigation    , ‘New Beginnings - Matariki'.  Please keep recording your cross-country training times on your Google Classroom spreadsheet.
