Probability
How likely it is that something will happen

Chance Games

What: Activities exploring likelihood
Why: Introduces probability
How it helps: Makes abstract concrete

Geometric patterns form the foundation of many mathematical principles and can be observed in various forms:


  • Regular polygons and their properties
  • Tessellations and surface coverings
  • Symmetry in natural and man-made objects
  • Fractal patterns and self-similarity
Geometric Pattern Example

Probability Tests

What: Experiments with outcomes
Why: Develops prediction skills
How it helps: Builds statistical thinking

There are several types of symmetry in mathematics:


  • Reflection symmetry (flip)
  • Rotational symmetry (turn)
  • Translational symmetry (slide)
  • Point symmetry
Symmetry Examples

Likely vs Unlikely

What: PUnderstanding probability scale
Why: Critical for decisions
How it helps: Develops judgment skills

Tessellations can be created using:


  • Regular polygons
  • Irregular shapes
  • Transformed shapes
  • Combined patterns
Tessellation Examples

Data Collection

What: Gathering probability data
Why: Builds statistical base
How it helps: Teaches research methods

Famous examples of fractals include:


  • The Mandelbrot Set
  • Koch Snowflake
  • Sierpinski Triangle
  • Dragon Curve
