Frequently asked questions
▸Does Common Core cover probability in Grade 6?
No. Grade 6 has a domain named Statistics and Probability, but every standard under it is statistics — distributions, measures of centre and variability, dot plots and box plots. Common Core introduces probability at Grade 7. These sheets follow the Australian Year 6 and Ontario Grade 6 chance strands and England's Key Stage 3.
▸What is the probability of something not happening?
One minus the probability that it does. On these sheets it is worked out from the counts: if five of twelve equal sections are red, the arrow misses red on the other seven, so the probability is 7/12.
▸How is 'how many to expect' different from a probability?
A probability is a fraction; an expected count is a number of times. The second sub-skill goes from one to the other — a one-in-five chance over forty tries gives about eight. It is a prediction, not a promise, which is worth saying to a child who counts nine and thinks the sheet is wrong.
▸Are these questions about surveys?
No. Every question here is about a chance process — a spinner, a bag of counters — that has not happened yet. Questions about groups that have already been counted are on the Data Handling pages instead.
▸Is this worksheet generator free?
Yes — free, no sign-up, no watermark, and the link reprints the same sheet whenever you need it.
