Probability (two days).
Children play a game with uneven numbers of red and blue cubes discussing why the game is not fair. They make predictions of how many times they might draw out a cube of a particular colour based on the number of each colour of cube in the bag. They roll a 1-6 dice lots of times and discuss what they notice. They then predict the numbers of times that given events will occur (e.g. odd number, number greater than 3) and test out their ideas. Children begin to find a probability and record it as a fraction.
