Tree diagrams
Generate theoretical sample spaces for single and combined events using listing, tables, and tree diagrams, and calculate theoretical probabilities as the number of favourable outcomes divided by the total number of equally likely outcomes
Teaching approaches
Gakuva’s recommended starting approach is selected. You can still compare every option.
1 approach
Can your child draw a tree diagram to map out all possible outcomes of a two-step probability situation — like flipping a coin and then rolling a die — and calculate the probability of any particular combination?
Generate theoretical sample spaces for single and combined events using listing, tables, and tree diagrams, and calculate theoretical probabilities as the number of favourable outcomes divided by the total number of equally likely outcomes
