Description
This book builds on the experiments contained in book 1 and introduces the ideas of sample spaces – the systematic listing of possible outcomes. The experiments become more sophisticated as students become involved in simulations. Students may compare the results of their hands on experience with digital versions of experiments that students and teachers can access. While the experiments are more sophisticated they use the same materials as book 1. They will recognise that probabilities range from 0 to 1, and can also be expressed using fractions, decimals and percentages. Students will be encouraged to make organised lists and sample spaces, and compare theoretical probability with the results of collecting data through performing experiments.
