Year 6 and 7 Mathematics, Science and Technology

PROBABILITY

Picture
The following learning outcomes that will be taught throughout this month are: 

·   Events have different likelihoods of occurrence, and estimates of probability can be expressed as percentages, common fractions or decimal fractions between 0 and 1
e.g.  the likelihood of drawing a red card from a 52-card pack can be represented as 50%, 1/2 or 0.5.

·   Experimental data for chance events can be compared with theoretical probability
e.g.  comparing the data gathered from tossing a six-sided dice 50 times with the theoretical probability of how many times the dice would land on a 6.
