S1-3: Investigate situations that involve elements of chance, acknowledging and anticipating possible outcomes.
Elaboration on this Achievement Objective:
This means students will consider the possible outcomes of events. Possible outcomes can be listed, for example when tossing a coin the outcomes are heads and tails. The possible outcomes should be the basis for predictions rather than perceptions of luck.
