Alien Invasion
Alien Invasion was created for middle primary as a game of chance, designed to teach students to recognise the element of chance in everyday situations.
Learning goals
- We are learning to identify outcomes of familiar events using ‘likely’, ‘unlikely’, ‘certain’ or ‘impossible’.
- We are learning to identify and describe possible outcomes by conducting chance experiments.
- We are learning to identify events where the chance of one will not be affected by the occurrence of the other.
- We are learning to identify and describe possible outcomes by conducting chance experiments.
- We are learning to describe possible everyday events, order their chances of occurring and determine independent or dependent events.
