How Likely is That?

Stages

1. What Does our Village Look Like?

EXPLORE

Suggested Learning Intentions

  • To understand the difference between a population and a sample
  • To design and conduct a survey
  • To gather and evaluate categorical and numerical data and represent it using fractions, decimals, and percentages

Sample Success Criteria

  • I can explain the difference between a population and a sample
  • I can collect information based on questions that I pose
  • I can explain the difference between numerical and categorical data
  • I can use manipulatives to model the data and explain my thinking
  • I can use fractions, decimals, and percentages to represent survey results

2. And the Average is...

EXPLORE

Suggested Learning Intentions

  • To describe, interpret and compare data using mode, median, mean and range
  • To explain the difference between a population and a sample

Sample Success Criteria

  • I can describe data using words such as mode, median, mean and range
  • I can explain the difference between a population and a sample
  • I can use a range of manipulatives to model and explain my thinking
EXPLORE

3. Four Balls

EXPLORE

Suggested Learning Intentions

  • To predict the likelihood of an outcome
  • To understand that some games involve random processes and that previous results have no impact upon future outcomes
  • To explain the difference between dependent and independent variables

Sample Success Criteria

  • I can assign probabilities to particular events
  • I can use manipulatives to model events and justify my solutions
  • I can use a Venn diagram to calculate probability
EXPLORE

4. Take a Chance

EXPLORE

Suggested Learning Intentions

  • To understand that a ‘game of chance’ involves chance rather than skill to determine the outcome
  • To list the outcomes of chance experiments
  • To define and compare experimental and theoretical probability

Sample Success Criteria

  • I understand that a ‘game of chance’ involves chance rather than skills to determine an outcome
  • I can list the outcomes of chance experiments
  • I can compare theoretical probability and experimental probability
  • I can record frequencies in a tally chart and calculate the relative frequency
