Probability

Over the next couple of weeks we are exploring probability. We have been learning about chance and the probability of something happening. It is impossible, possible or certain. We played a game with dice today, one person tries to throw doubles and the other person throws single numbers.

              

This is the game.

These are some of our thoughts.

Paula – it’s better to throw single numbers because your more likely to get counters

Jack – I like doubles – you get to take 5 counters

Liefke – singles because you get to take counters nearly every tur

Ryans – ones you have a better chance of winning

Rich- ones because doubles are harder to get to take counters

Abbey - ones because doubles are harder to get and take counters

Charlotte – doubles more of a chance to win you can take 5

Orton – Both – because you have an even chance of winning

Caitlin - doubles – because when you win you take more counters

Patrick – doubles you have a better chance of winning but its harder

Olivia - doubles you can take more but you have a higher chance of throwing singles

Tino – doubles because you can take 5
