1st to 20
This final worksheet has students create their own repeated chance experiment to test new strategies for an unfamiliar game (1st to 20). In this activity students go through a number of rounds of playing the game, recording data and adjusting their strategy as they go.
To assess this item, pay careful attention to how students are collecting data and how they are using their understanding of outcomes and probability in that data to adapt their strategy moving forward.
This worksheet is part of a larger probability unit for Year 4 where students develop insights into the likelihoods of future outcomes through completing chance experiments.
Learning goals
- We are learning to conduct chance experiments to observe relationships between outcomes, identify and describe the variation in results.
- We are learning to conduct chance experiments with both small and large numbers of trials.

Differentiation
Extensions
Instructions for the game 1st to 20 are included as part of the presentation for this unit. You may want to practise it as a group, or have a few 1st to 20 sessions before the final task to ensure that students are familiar with the game before this final task.
