Australian Standards:

(ACMSP116) List outcomes of chance experiments involving!

equally likely outcomes and represent probabilities!
of those outcomes using fractions!
(ACMSP117) Recognise that probabilities range from 0 to 1!
(ACMNA102) Compare and order common unit fractions and!
locate and represent them on a number line

Mathematical Language

Evaluation Previous Week:

Students were focussed,
however some concepts
required additional review to
ensure a complete
understanding.

Additional ESL and/ or SEN objectives/focus:

Focus on skill develop and understanding of word meanings. Use
concrete materials to help students to develop a conceptual
understanding of fractions and probabilities.

WALT: To make predictions to determine probability

WILF: Compare predictions with data

Investigate fair and biased

What does the word fair and
biased (unfair) mean? Discuss
with a partner.

Create a fair and unfair spinner.

Work out the probabilities.

1) To use probability words and

place on a continuum.

Create
a game
and
describe
the
probabili
ty of the
game.

2) With a partner toss a coin

and construct a table on how
many coins they tossed in ten
flips.

3) With a partner Construct a

spinner that is fair and a
spinner that is unfair. Explain
your answer with a partner
What are the chances of
an event?

WALT: to be able to calculate the sum total probabilities for a

chance experiment

WILF : to be able to calculate predictions of events with actual data

Sum totals of probabilities from
