Probability Games

Task Description:

Yesterday for maths, we did it in the assembly hall! We were playing probability games, probability is how likely something will happen. We were split into three groups so that there would be rotations for the games. Everyone also got a paper to record their success and their failure for each game.

The first game for the group I was in was greedy pig. Greedy pig is rolling a die and you get points for what number you rolled. However, if you roll a one, you have to restart from 0 points again. I think it was the most difficult game for me, I had to restart 4 times and I only got 39 points at the end before the rotation ended. If you got 50 points you could get a lolly but I only had 39.

The next rotations were playing cards and bottle flip. For the playing cards I aimed for no picture cards, and my success was 25 and the failure was 15. For bottle flip, my success was 6 and my failure was 30.
