Probability: Level 1

The Ministry is migrating nzmaths content to Tāhurangi.           
Relevant and up-to-date teaching resources are being moved to Tāhūrangi (tahurangi.education.govt.nz). 
When all identified resources have been successfully moved, this website will close. We expect this to be in June 2024. 
e-ako maths, e-ako Pāngarau, and e-ako PLD 360 will continue to be available.

The key idea of probability at level 1 is beginning to explore chance situations.

At level 1 students are exploring games of chance that they play and outcomes from statistical investigations.  They are discussing the different outcomes that are possible.

Students are developing early probability language and describing outcomes.  For example an outcome is certain, possible, impossible or an outcome always happens, never happens, sometimes happens.

This key idea is extended in the key idea of probability at level 2 where students are beginning to recognise that some events are more likely than others in chance situations.
