Term 3 Week 3

PLAN & DO / WHAKAMAHI learning intentions:

• We are PLANNING to use our teacher carpark to record the colours of the cars in order to calculate the probability of various car colours.
• We are PLANNING to use water bottles in order to solve what the best amount of water is in order to land a bottle flip

Success Criteria: I can/have:

• Identify if an event is certain, likely, unlikely, or impossible
• Place events on a probability scale from 0 to 1
• Describe the chance or likelihood of outcomes happening
• Describe the likelihood of an event as a fraction or percentage
• Test a fair coin so that I can toss to get a result 
• Use a fair die to collect information/result
• Use spinners to collect data
• Use a deck of cards to determine probability
• Calculate theoretical probabilities of different events happening

Activities:

- flipping coins, rolling dice, and spinning spinners to calculate experimental probability
- bottle flipping probability investigation: how much water in the bottle has the greatest probability of landing the flip?
- calculating experimental probability of different colour cars being in the carpark
