Look at results in a frequency graph compiled after testing an unseen spinner. Work out the likely proportions of colours in the mystery spinner. Use a tool to build a new spinner (a dial with a pointer). Choose up to five equal-sized sectors. Fill the sectors with up to five colours. For example, make a five-part spinner ...

This resource is a web page containing three dice games to explore chance. Each dice game has simple instructions to play the interactive strategy game. The games provide a useful way to investigate the chance of rolling a particular number after successive trials. This resource is one activity from the NRICH collection.

Look at results in a frequency graph compiled after testing an unseen spinner. Work out the likely proportions of colours in the mystery spinner. Use a tool to build a new spinner (a dial with a pointer). Choose up to three equal-sized sectors. Fill the sectors with up to three colours. For example, make a three-part spinner ...

This sequence of four lessons explores probability in real world situations including advertising, games and population sampling. Students calculate probabilities, represent probabilities as fractions, decimals and percentages, perform chance experiments with small and large sample sizes and graph their results, examine ...

A dice has been weighted (loaded) to favour one of the six numbers. Roll the dice to work out which is the favoured face. Explore how many rolls are needed to be reasonably sure of a conclusion. Look at demonstrations of the mathematical principles of bias. Compare the shape of theoretical data distributions with experimental ...

• TLF-IDM012003

This is an interactive game that investigates probability by simulating a two-car race, in which the movements of the cars are based on the roll of a die. Cars advance when certain numbers are rolled, and the student can experiment with probability by selecting which car moves forward for a given outcome of the roll of ...

• TLF-IDM010769

This is a set of illustrated information sheets that revise the concept of relative frequency in estimating the probability of an event occurring. Examples with answers are included and students have access to a multiple-choice test to assess their learning. This resource is one of a series of online resources from the ...

• TLF-IDS4969

These seven learning activities, which focus on 'games, simulations and modelling' using a variety of tools (software) and devices (hardware), illustrate the ways in which content, pedagogy and technology can be successfully and effectively integrated in order to promote learning. In the activities, teachers use games, ...

• TLF-IDR11499

This unit explores the mathematics of chance, the notion of probability and how we can influence these factors.

• TLF-IDM009236

This curriculum resource package is a ten-week unit plan and set of supporting resources for the upper primary years, focusing on progressing students' understanding of chance events and assigning a measure of likelihood to an event using words or numbers. Students identify and list possible outcomes in simple chance events ...
