Conduct chance experiments: Year 6 – planning tool
This planning resource for Year 6 is for the topic of Conduct chance experiments. Students predict the frequency of an outcome of repeated chance experiments. They conduct simulations using digital tools to generate and record the outcomes, and observe the effect of many trials on the outcome. They then compare observed and expected frequencies of the outcomes of chance experiments.
