Description

This worksheet introduces Year 6 students to probability by classifying events as certain, likely, equal choice, unlikely, or impossible and placing them on a probability scale. It also includes an estimation section, allowing students to apply probability in real-life scenarios. Answers and explanations are provided for teacher guidance.

VC2M6P01 2.0

describe probabilities using fractions, decimals and percentages; recognise that probabilities lie on numerical scales of 0–‍1 or 0%–100%; use estimation to assign probabilities that events occur in a given context, using common fractions, percentages and decimals

Conduct chance experiments with both small and large numbers of trials using appropriate digital technologies

Compare observed frequencies across experiments with expected frequencies

Conduct repeated chance experiments and run simulations with an increasing number of trials using digital tools; compare observations with expected results and discuss the effect on variation of increasing the number of trials
