P Y3 Crazy Animals new

This chance-based investigation explores possible combinations through an animal drawing activity. Students will draw different animal heads, bodies, and tails/legs, then experiment with various combinations to create new animals, discovering all possibilities. This activity offers the opportunity to create patterns when exploring possible outcomes and numerous opportunities for extension 

This activity explores the following key ideas:

• Engage in chance-based investigations about games and everyday situations to:
  – identify possible outcomes
  – collect and record data
  – create visualisations for frequencies of outcomes (e.g., lists, picture, graphs)
  – describe what these data visualisations show
  – answer chance-based investigative questions
  –  notice variations in outcomes
