Grade 3 Math > Data Management and Probability > Predicting and Investigating the Frequency of an Outcome

KNOW

That not all games are created fair

That the outcomes of some games/events can be explained with mathematical reasoning

That even the greatest mathematicians cannot perfectly account for randomness and luck

UNDERSTAND

That there are many possible outcomes for any given game/event/experiment/etc.

That the probability of something happening is sometimes changed as a result of the events that happen beforehand

BE

Aware and observant of the different outcomes possible

Smart when conducting your experiment and ensure fair testing (ie. when rolling dice make sure you are actually tossing them so they spin and bounce at random)

Ready to compare test results with peers to compare both your models and your test results

DO

Test the mathematical model you produce to see how closely a real experiment will adhere to it

Record your test results in a way that is clear and logical

Not enter into a game of chance/skill without first considering your odds versus the odds of the opponent(s)
