Australian Curriculum Version 9 Says:

Conduct repeated chance experiments; identify and describe possible outcomes, record the results, recognise and discuss the variation.

What this means

Students need to roll dice, flick spinners and record outcomes.

  • Experiments will need to be performed more than once so that students realise the variability when flicking coins or rolling dice. Data from individual experiments can be compared with whole class data.
  • Tallying and graphing the results of chance experiments ties in with 3ST01, 3ST02 and 3ST03.

Tip

  • The same experiment may be carried out with different materials e.g. rolling a 1-6 dice and flicking a spinner on a 1-6 template.
