Blast off on a galactic mission as your students navigate the stars and collect cosmic treasures! In this interactive space-themed game, every correct answer launches them to new galaxies and earns them space badges. It’s the perfect blend of adventure and learning – all while boosting understanding of probability and chance.

This game challenges students to distinguish between outcomes that are equally likely and those that are not equally likely. Using visual scenarios and practical comparisons, students will decide whether events share the same probability or if one is more likely than another. With each correct answer, they’ll warp closer to the next star system!

Let’s Explore – Equally & Not Equally Likely is suited for students in Years 4–5 who are developing foundational knowledge of probability. The game reinforces the concept of fairness and likelihood in everyday contexts, making it both educational and out-of-this-world fun!

Key Learning Outcomes:

• ✅ Identify equally and not equally likely events
• ✅ Use visual clues to assess the probability of outcomes
• ✅ Strengthen vocabulary around chance and likelihood
• ✅ Develop reasoning skills through consistent practise
• ✅ Engage in an exciting, space-themed digital experience

How to Play:

1. Students are presented with a short visual or descriptive scenario.
2. They analyse the situation to decide whether the outcomes are equally or not equally likely.
3. Each correct answer collects a new object and unlocks a space badge.
4. Incorrect answers stall progress – but don’t worry, students can keep playing to try again!
5. The goal is to complete the galaxy mission by answering all questions accurately.

Ideas for Classroom Use:

• 💡 Introduce during your probability unit to spark discussion around fairness and chance.
• 💡 Use as an independent task during rotations or digital learning stations.
• 💡 Ideal for Years 4–5 working on chance-related ACARA outcomes.
• 💡 Extend learning with real-world follow-up tasks such as dice rolls or spinner experiments.

Top Teacher Tips:

• 💛 Send the QR code home for students to review and share with their families.
• 💛 Encourage students to track how many space badges they earn and reflect on their progress.
• 💛 Use the game to pre-assess understanding or consolidate knowledge at the end of your chance unit.

Let’s Explore – Equally & Not Equally Likely turns probability into a space-age adventure – launching students into learning with every match they make!
