Math Problem

Here is today's practice problem:

Mrs. Linse and Mrs. Mihalides are playing a game. They roll a dice ten times. If it lands on an even number Mrs. M gets a point. If it lands on an odd number, Mrs. Linse gets the point. Is this a fair game? 
Explain. 

Math Test

We will have a short probability math quiz this Thursday. Duotangs will be sent home each night for review. The following should be practised:

- the probability of an event (using the words: likely,   unlikely, impossible, certain and equally likely)
- the probability of experiments 
- the difference between fair and unfair games.

I will post sample questions this week.

Here is today's problem:

In a bag I put counters. 
There are 2 red, 3 purple, 8 yellow.

What is the probability that I will pull out a yellow counter?
Is this a fair game? Remember to use math word to explain your thinking!

What's The Chance?

We have been learning about probability in math. 
Some terms we have been using are:

fair
probability
likely
unlikely
equally likely
certain
impossible
chance

Here is an online activity that your child can play to practice what we have been learning.
