In this lesson, students play a simple lottery game, analyse their odds of winning and how this influences the decisions they made. Students determine the differences between experimental and mathematical probability, conduct a simulation modelling an event and critically evaluate the odds of winning the lottery. The lesson ...

This lesson explores how to predict outcomes of games of chance. Students investigate the concepts of luck, skill and fairness, using dice games. They calculate probabilities for one and two dice rolls and compare the odds for different combinations of dice in a variety of game scenarios. The lesson is outlined in detail ...

Before GPS, there were many ways to navigate, including using the stars. In this resource, students and teachers will learn about celestial positions, the azimuth and altitude to shape their understanding of traditional navigational techniques.

This work sample demonstrates evidence of student learning in relation to aspects of the achievement standards for Year 10 Mathematics. The primary purpose for the work sample is to demonstrate the standard, so the focus is on what is evident in the sample not how it was created. The sample is an authentic representation ...

This unit of work focuses on rates and ratio. Students define, recognise, represent, and find equivalent, simplified, and unit ratios and rates; convert between rate units; determine and use the multipliers between parts of the same ratio or rate and across equivalent ratios and rates.

The focus of this activity is to discover if students can represent numbers, without the need to count from 1. If students ‘trust the count’ from here they will be able to use strategies to combine collections. If students do not ‘trust the count’ they may be able to combine two collections by counting by ones, but this ...

What makes even numbers special? What makes odd numbers… well… odd? Help these farmers plant their fruit trees in rows and patterns, and see what happens when we add, subtract and multiply different combinations of these numbers together! Use this low threshold, high ceiling task to explore the properties of even and odd numbers.

• TLF-IDA004369

This game played in pairs or small groups challenges students to create equations using numbers rolled on ten-sided dice.

• TLF-IDA004293

This activity is designed to encourage students to engage with a problem, before they overthink it. Too often in class we begin with what is familiar to students and gradually increase the challenge. This problem begins with a challenge and encourages students to work backwards to solve a simpler problem, before applying ...

These activities focus on developing skills in estimation and rounding. Estimation can help children to make reasonable guesses at solutions and check the accuracy of their calculations.
