Game with no Rules - micro:bit, Python, chance and data for Years 7 and 8

Recorded 10 September 2026

Presenter: Dr John West

This webinar extends the Code, Chance, Create approach to Years 7–8, building on the Game with No Rules to integrate Digital Technologies and Mathematics.

Students will use Python and a micro:bit to run a simple chance experiment, record results in a spreadsheet and analyse the data. They will move beyond describing events as ‘likely’ or ‘unlikely’ to using numbers to measure chance.

You’ll see how students can:

• collect and organise data from repeated experiments
• use frequency to analyse results
• compare individual and class data
• explore how results compare with expected outcomes

The session focuses on practical ways to extend classroom games into deeper chance and data investigations.
