conduct repeated chance experiments and run simulations with an increasing number of trials using digital tools; compare observations with expected results and discuss the effect on variation of increasing the number of trials

How Bloomi helps with this

This is a readiness-year topic that builds towards the next NAPLAN year. Bloomi practises it as curriculum mastery, never test drilling.

What this looks like in the classroom

• using digital tools to simulate multiple tosses of a coin or dice and comparing the relative frequency of an outcome as the number of trials increases; identifying the variation between trials and realising that the results tend to the prediction with larger numbers of trials
• using online simulations of repeated random events to recognise emerging patterns, discussing and comparing expected results to the actual results
• investigating the relative frequencies of all outcomes for a chance experiment and verifying that their sum equals one
