They use these eight colored sectors to record their results in a circle graph, which they put aside. They repeat this twice and get two other circle graphs. Finally, as a whole class activity, they gather the circle graphs from all the groups, and rearrange the sectors to make as many solid color circles as they can. They discuss the results. Determine the probability of a simple event, assuming equally likely outcomes.
Children roll a die ten times and record the number of times each number comes up.
They combine their tallies and discuss the class results. Children predict how often heads and tales come up when a coin is tossed. They toss a coin ten times and tally the number of heads and tails. They combine their tallies and compare their class results with their predictions. Make predictions that are based on intuitive, experimental, and theoretical probabilities.
