K–10Mathematics K–10 Syllabus (2022)
The new Mathematics K–10 Syllabus (2022) is to be implemented from 2024 and replaces the Mathematics K–10 Syllabus (2012).
School sectors are responsible for implementing syllabuses and are best placed to provide schools with specific guidance and information on implementation given their understanding of their individual contexts.
Content
Stage 4
- MAO-WM-01
develops understanding and fluency in mathematics through exploring and connecting mathematical concepts, choosing and applying mathematical techniques to solve problems, and communicating their thinking and reasoning coherently and clearly
- MA4-PRO-C-01
solves problems involving the probabilities of simple chance experiments
List the Loading for Loading experiments
Express the Loading of an event, which has a finite number of equally likely Loading ,
as
Recognise that probabilities range from 0 (impossible) to 1 (certain) and that equally likely outcomes have equal probabilities
Verify that the total of the probabilities of all possible outcomes of an event is 1
Identify and describe theoretical (expected) probabilities as being the likelihood of outcomes occurring under fair or unbiased conditions
Explain that observed probability is the Loading resulting from repeated trials of a Loading and determine observed probabilities
Explore relative frequencies by using a Loading generator to repeat a chance experiment a number of times
Identify and describe the complement of an event
Verify that the sum of the probability of an event and its complement is a total of 1
Solve problems involving the probability of Loading
Represent the possible outcomes for complementary events in various forms
