Equal and Unequal Dice
This chance experiment lets students see the difference between equally likely and unequally likely outcomes. Have students complete both experiments and record the data to compare with others. This is a great repeated chance experiment that will generate lots of interesting class discussions. The included answer sheet makes marking a breeze.
Learning goals
- We are learning to recognise that probabilities range from 0 to 1.
- We are learning to conduct chance experiments, including those with and without equally likely outcomes, record the outcomes and the number of times the outcomes occur and to describe the relative frequency of each outcome.
