To parents/ caregivers,
Happy Melbourne Cup Day!
Today the three classes joined together to learn about probability.
We had a discussion on event, where students had to decide if it’s certain, likely, unlikely, or impossible.
We began by introducing the 24 horses participating in today’s race, using fractions to represent their chances of winning. Students applied their understanding of probability to select a horse they believed had a high likelihood of winning, as well as one they thought was unlikely to triumph.
This hands-on, interactive activity not only sparked enthusiasm but also provided a fun and engaging way to deepen students’ understanding of probability. We’re excited to watch the race together and see how their predictions unfold!
Have a great week.
Kind regards,
Cassundra and Luke
