Look at these words.
Choose one to help explain the chances of each of these statements happening:
- It will snow today.
- We will have recess tomorrow.
- Your parents will give you a bike for your birthday.
- You will see a movie at home this month.
- When you shake and spill 4 two-colour counters, you will see only one colour.
- When you roll a die, you will get a number greater than 1.

conduct a probability experiment, choose an appropriate recording method, and draw conclusions and make predictions from the results
|
|
How many ways can 2 two-colour counters land when they are spilled? Explain your answer with coloured drawings and compare your drawings
with those of a classmate.
If you spill the counters 10 different times, what colour combination would you expect to see most often? Why? Conduct an experiment to test your prediction. Keep a record of your results on each
turn. Was your prediction correct?
Repeat your experiment twice more. Carefully keep records of your results. What is your conclusion?
