Description

Probability stations is a team game for students to put their probability knowledge to the test. They travel to a set of stations and answer a variety of questions based around familiar probability scenarios. Their answers are revealed through QR codes, which link to text answers or in some cases, videos of the underlying principles.
The included score sheet can also be collected and recorded for assessment.

AC9M5P01 9

List the possible outcomes of chance experiments involving equally likely outcomes and compare to those which are not equally likely

AC9M5ST03 9

Plan and conduct statistical investigations by posing questions or identifying a problem and collecting relevant data; choose appropriate displays and interpret the data; communicate findings within the context of the investigation

AC9M5ST02 9

Interpret line graphs representing change over time; discuss the relationships that are represented and conclusions that can be made

AC9M6P01 9

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

AC9M4P02 9

Conduct repeated chance experiments to observe relationships between outcomes; identify and describe the variation in results

AC9M6P02 9

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

AC9M5P02 9

Conduct repeated chance experiments including those with and without equally likely outcomes, observe and record the results ; use frequency to compare outcomes and estimate their likelihoods
