Year 6 and 7 Mathematics, Science and Technology

WEEK 5

Hi all. Well week 5 is here, and we are beginning a new unit of work in Maths. In regards to the Measurement unit, I was very pleased with most of the results achieved. Congratulations to those who worked hard and achieved highly.

The new unit is based on Probability. This looks at how likely it is that an event will happen. For example, if I want to draw the Ace of Spades out of a deck of cards, then the probability of me doing this on my first go is unlikely, because I have a 1 in 52 chance of drawing the card I want. Concepts like this are examples of how Mathematicians use probability in every day life.

You will receive your assessment task in class this week, and you be asked to play computer games as a part of this... stay tuned!
