This worksheet teaches students to run and record chance experiments with coins, dice and spinners, compare results between groups, and explain why results vary. The worksheet is split into warm-up questions, standard questions and then extension questions to test you.
The concepts it covers:
- A chance experiment can be repeated many times: tossing coins, rolling dice, spinning spinners.
- Results vary: if two groups do the same experiment, they usually get different results.
- Variation doesn't mean a coin or dice is unfair. Small experiments often look uneven.
- Combining lots of results usually gets closer to what we expect.
What your child will practise:
- Listing the outcomes of an experiment.
- Reading results from tables and column graphs.
- Comparing results from different groups.
- Predicting results for more trials.
- Explaining why results vary.
Every section opens with a worked example, and the download includes a full answer key with step-by-step solutions and teaching notes on the mistakes students most commonly make.
