  • FOCUS / ARONGA

    FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:

    • We are FOCUSING on experimenting with chance by using spinners, cards, and dice.
    • We are FOCUSING on calculating experimental probability.
    • We are FOCUSING on calculating theoretical probability.


    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:

    - tree diagrams: calculating the theoretical probability of multiple events happening in a row

    - making tree diagrams using commonwealth games scores
