YEAR 8 HOST THE CARNIVAL OF CHANCE!

This Term in Year 8 Maths, students have been given the task to compare theoretical probability vs experimental probability by hosting the Carnival of Chance! Prior to the carnival, students worked in groups to brainstorm and design a game to be played. They then worked out the chances of a player winning, losing, or breaking even and as other students played, recorded the number of wins versus games played so they could compare theoretical probability vs experimental probability. Year 5 & 6 also came down to participate in the carnival and had the opportunity to play a game of chance to win lollies and other prizes. This is a great opportunity to make Maths more engaging and hands on, as well as an opportunity for the Primary students to engage with the Secondary campus.
