Experimental probability
Record, describe, and analyse the frequency of outcomes from probability experiments to develop an understanding of relative frequency as an estimate of probability
Teaching approaches
Gakuva’s recommended starting approach is selected. You can still compare every option.

If your child rolls a die 60 times and records the results, can they compare how often each number came up with what they'd expect in theory — and explain why they might not match perfectly?

Check understanding
- Conduct a coin-toss experiment, record results in a frequency table, and calculate relative frequencies
- Compare experimental results with theoretical probability and explain discrepancies
- Predict that relative frequency approaches theoretical probability as the number of trials increases
