Year 6

At Home Learning Plan:

Term 2 Week 1 and 2

You will not need access to a digital device to complete the following activities. You will need help from a parent/carer and possibly resources from your teacher. All activities are to be completed in the exercise book provided.

Some families are finding that there is too much work for students to get through, while others are looking for additional learning activities for their children. Both of these situations are addressed below.

If there is too much work for your needs, just complete whatever activities you can. The activities on the timetable are a guide to help assist with learning from home. The English and Maths activities are the most important. However, it is OK if they don't all get completed everyday. The added optional technology activities were included to give the students some added variety in their learning. If you don't have access to the internet to do this, that is OK they are optional only.

If you would like some additional materials for home learning, please see the Department of Education's website dedicated to supporting parents and carers with learning from home.

Parents, this is a guide only. Remember to break the day up with breaks to allow your child to get outside and get active. Children need at least 60 minutes of physical activity daily. Get them to use their imaginations to play and build and get crafty. Get your student to complete as much of the work as they can and remember to "try your best but do not stress".

Explain why you chose to show this data in that way?

Focus Area: Data Collection India had been playing a board game with her family. In the game you could only move your playing piece from START if you rolled a 6 on one dice. Everyone in her family was halfway around the game board before she had rolled a 6! The next day she decided to do an investigation to see if there was as much chance of rolling a 6 as any other number. She rolled a dice 20 times. Here is what she rolled:

Introductory Draw a table and use tally marks to count how many times she rolled each number.

? Which number was rolled the most? Which number was rolled the least?

Consolidating Has India been able to prove that there is as much chance of rolling a 6 as any other number? Why or why not?

More Challenging If India had used a 10-sided dice, how would it have changed the probability of her rolling a 6? The probability of rolling a 6 would be unlikely / likely / very likely with a 10-sided dice?
