P Y4 Last One Standing new

Ākonga will explore the relationship between theoretical outcomes and experimental outcomes within the context of a multiplication game. This two part lesson is for Year 4 ākonga.  

This activity explores the following key ideas:

• Engage in chance-based investigations with equally likely outcomes by:
  – posing an investigative question
  – anticipate and then identify possible outcomes for the investigative question
  – generating all possible ways to get each outcome (a theoretical approach), or undertaking a probability experiment and recording the occurrences of each outcome
  – creating data visualisations for possible outcomes
  – describe what these data visualisations show
  – finding probabilities as fractions
  – answering the investigative question
  – reflecting on anticipated outcomes 
• Agree or disagree with others’ conclusions about chance based investigations
