Simple Chance Experiments
Conduct simple probability experiments — flipping a coin, rolling a die, pulling coloured counters from a bag — record results, and compare experimental outcomes with expected theoretical outcomes

Has your child ever done an experiment like flipping a coin or rolling a die lots of times, recorded the results in a tally chart, and noticed any patterns in what came up?
