Step up to the buzzer in this high-energy game show where quick thinking and keen probability skills are key to success! As students work their way through quiz rounds of increasing value – one point, double points, and triple points – they'll test their understanding of chance in a competitive and engaging format.

In this quiz-style game, students are presented with everyday scenarios and visual prompts. They must determine whether the outcomes in each scenario are equally likely or not equally likely. With each correct answer, they rack up more points and move closer to winning the top prize. Incorrect answers? No problem – they’ll still learn from each round and get ready for the next!

Let’s Quiz – Equally & Not Equally Likely is designed for students in Years 4–5 who are developing their probability and reasoning skills. It encourages critical thinking and real-world application of mathematical concepts around likelihood and fairness.

Key Learning Outcomes:

• ✅ Identify whether outcomes are equally or not equally likely
• ✅ Understand and apply key vocabulary related to probability
• ✅ Develop reasoning skills using comparative thinking
• ✅ Reinforce concepts of fairness in games and real-life contexts
• ✅ Build fluency through repetition and varied scenarios

How to Play:
