A Game of Chance

 Recently Autahi have been exploring the world of chance and probability. 

The early Maths curriculum has three aspects that learners will explore. These are:

• Engaging in stories and games that involve chance-based situations
• decide if something will happen, won't happen or might happen
• identify possible and impossible outcomes

The best part of this is it encourages playing games involving chance using physical objects like dice, flipping coins, using spinners or pulling things out at random.

Here we are rolling the dice and checking the number. We are counting the dots and seeing how different numbers come up each time.

At Assembly this week we will be showcasing one of the games we have been playing to learn about how we can't predict the outcome but that we can respond to it.

At home you can support this by playing games that involve lots of chance. Games with dice like snakes and ladders are great as well as card games like snap. 

Talk about your predictions about which number they might roll on the dice or which card might come up next. 

Don't forget that there's every chance that learning can be fun too!
