Chance investigation:

A chance experiment is something you can do over and over again, and you don't know exactly what will happen each time.

ACTIVITIES YOU CAN DO AT HOME TO SUPPORT YOUR CHILD'S LEARNING

Predicting if they flipped a coin what is likely to happen: heads or tails. Flip the coin 10 times and record results as a tally.

Or

Predicting if they rolled a dice what  is likely to happen.  Roll the die 20 times and record results as a tally.
