Goat Grommets (Mental computation and dependent probability) - ABC Education

TLF ID A005647

As a team, you'll need to use your understanding of probability to decide which waves your surfer should catch — or when to play it safe and head in. Use mental addition to calculate your score. Enjoy the surf but watch out for the shark pig! Mathematical ideas and strategies this game supports: the probability of an occurrence is increased over time if there are a limited number of occurrences (dependent probability); mental addition strategies to estimate a probable total; strategic thinking in relation to the impact of a possible outcome.
