JOKES BY SAJER – #1

Sajer has found some Space jokes in his Cool Jokes books.  He’s going to share them with us here.  He will give you a joke question for your to answer in a comment and the next day we’ll answer it for you and give you the next joke.

Joke #1: Why did the teacher wear dark glasses?

???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Post a comment to try and answer the joke question….

Chances of ….?

In Maths we can work out how likely it will be that an event will occur.   It could be certain, likely or unlikely.

When it comes to a dice or a spinner, you can work out how likely by saying 

You have a 1 in 6 chance of winning; or you have a 1:6 chance….. depending on the number of possibilities given.

We will explore how this works by using the spinner in this SPINNER manipulative.

BOX DRAW manipulative – how many times will you draw out a certain colour depends on how many of each are in the box.

COIN TOSS manipulative – it’s interesting to see how many times heads or tails comes up when you toss a coin.

Good luck and have fun taking your chances on these activities! 8:)
