K - Yr 6 Learning 

Kindergarten , Year 1 & 2 Maths CHANCE

We have been studying CHANCE.  Here are a few pointers for use at home to support the activities being carried out at school:

Tips for Parents:

Talk about plans for family outings and the chances of the weather being favourable. Include possible, impossible, likely and unlikely scenarios in the discussion (e.g. Will there be a snow storm when we are having our picnic?)

Discuss other chance happenings that might occur (e.g. Do you think it is possible that Grandma will visit us tomorrow? What could happen at football today?) as well as how likely this is (e.g. Grandma might come to visit, but as she lives in Perth this is pretty unlikely).

Talk about chance when playing games (e.g. It’s possible that I will roll a six but not certain). 

Using the language of chance such as certain, impossible, more likely, equally likely and less likely when describing everyday events. For example, I have an equally likely chance of tossing heads or tails on a coin flip.
