Selection of outcomes and content

NS2.5 Describes and compares chance events in social and experimental contexts

WMS2.5 Links mathematical ideas and makes connections with, and generalisations about, existing knowledge and understanding in relation to Stage 2 content

• listing all the possible outcomes in a simple chance situation eg ‘heads’ and ‘tails’ if a coin is tossed
• distinguishing between certain and uncertain events
• using the language of chance in everyday contexts eg fifty-fifty chance, a one in two chance
• conducting simple experiments with random generators such as coins, dice or spinners to inform discussion about the likelihood of outcomes eg roll a die fifty times, keep a tally and record the results

• apply an understanding of equally likely outcomes in games and other simple situations involving random generators eg dice, coins, spinners (Reflecting) *
