This worksheet guides students through repeated chance experiments, including coin tossing and using spinners, to compare experimental results with theoretical probabilities. Students will calculate relative frequencies and explain variations in results. Includes clear instructions, answer keys and a fast finisher activity for reinforcement.
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
Conduct Probability (Chance) experiments with both small and large numbers of trials using appropriate digital technologies
Compare observed frequencies across experiments with expected frequencies
Describes and represents mathematical situations in a variety of ways using mathematical terminology and some conventions
Selects and applies appropriate problem- solving strategies, including the use of digital technologies, in undertaking investigations
Gives a valid reason for supporting one possible solution over another
Conducts chance experiments and assigns probabilities as values between 0 and 1 to describe their outcomes
Conducts chance experiments and quantifies the probability
