AC9M3P02 Year 3 Mathematics

This Content Descriptor from Year 3 Mathematics provides the specific knowledge and skills students should learn. Use it to plan lessons, create learning sequences, and design assessments that align with the Australian Curriculum v9.

conduct repeated chance experiments; identify and describe possible outcomes, record the results, recognise and discuss the variation

Elaborations

• 1 identifying the possible outcomes of a chance experiment, creating a tally chart to record results, carrying out a few trials and tallying the results for each trial; responding to the questions: “How did your results vary for each trial?” and “How do the results vary across the class?”
• 2 conducting repeated trials of chance experiments such as tossing a coin, throwing a dice, drawing a coloured or numbered ball from a bag, using a coloured spinner with equal partitions, and identifying the variation in the number of heads/fives/reds between trials
• 3 discussing how the process of conducting repeated chance experiments is crucial in the training of artificial intelligence applications like recommendation systems; for example, if they were building a recommendation system for an online shopping website, they could conduct repeated experiments by tracking user interactions over time
