Flip a Sheep - Randomness
Flip the sheep coin ten times, each time adding a black or white sheep to the paddock. As you play, record the number of white and black sheep collected in the paddock. Play the game again to see how the numbers vary each time.

Learning goals
- We are learning to record, compare and discuss data and create one-to-one displays.
- We are learning to draw simple data displays and make simple inferences.
- We are learning to represent and compare data displayed in various graphs, e.g. lists, tally charts, column graphs, picture graphs.
- We are learning to create displays of data using lists, table and picture graphs and interpret them.
- We are learning to identify and describe possible outcomes by conducting chance experiments.
- We are learning to identify and describe possible outcomes by conducting chance experiments.
