P Y4 Lucky Seven new

This lesson explores a chance based experience where ākonga can be actively involved in the data collection.  This active involvement helps ākonga to make sense of the mathematical concept through analysis.  

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
  – answering the investigative question
  – reflecting on anticipated outcomes 
• Agree or disagree with others’ conclusions about chance based investigations
