Mathematics

CURRICULUM FOCUS

We are learning to recognise that probabilities range from 0 to 1.

VOCABULARY

Probability: the extent to which something is likely to happen or be the case.

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

Students create their own probability scale.

What events can you think of that you could represent on a scale of 0 to 1?

What fractions or decimals could you use to represent these probabilities?

Examples:

• Christmas will be on the 25th of December next year. 
• It will rain next week.
• Blue is the most popular colour for students in our school.
• You flip a coin and it lands on heads.
