Maths - Probability!

Hello, today I will be sharing with you some maths that I have been doing this week. My group was working on probability in maths. Probability is about the chance of something happening or not happening.

My LO this week was, we can complete a mathematical investigation.

The steps I had to take was commitment, resilience and achievement. I had to commit to my work and give it my all. I had to never give up on myself and have a growth mindset and I had to achieve my work to a year 8 quality standard.

One of the experiments I have done was to draw a chart on my maths book and roll a dice 18 times. Then, I had to write down the number that was on the dice in the chart.

1 - 1
2 - 4
3 - 3
4 - 3
5 - 3
6 - 2
7 - 3
8 - 3
9 - 6
10 - 2
11 - 5
12 - 1
13 - 3
14 - 5
15 - 5
16 - 5
17 - 2
18 - 4

After that, I had to draw a tally chart in my maths book and to complete the tally chart I had to tally up how many times did each number get when it was rolled on the dice. I also had to put down the total of each number.

1 - // - 2
2 - /// - 3
3 - //// / - 6
4 - // - 2
5 - //// - 4
6 - / - 1

The evidence shows that, the most rolled number was 3. The least rolled number was 6. 6 was rolled once. The most rolled number to the least rolled number was: 3, 5, 2, 1, 4, 6.

If I have done the experiment again I probably wouldn't get the same results then I did on this one. Why I think that is because, there are 6 numbers on the dice so whenever you roll it would come up with a random number then the same numbers that it had on this one.

I hope you liked my blog post and I also hope you have learned something today!

Narrative Fairy tale - The Three Little Fairies.

This term in writing we have been focusing on narrative writing. This week, 8Bh is rewriting a fairy tale in there own way. My one is called, The Three Little Fairies. This fairy tale is based on The Three Little Pigs. Here is what I have done so far.

Hello fellow believers, welcome to the magical side of your childhood. Once upon a time,
there were three little fairies named Peace, Claire and Violet. These fairies were all sisters
and they were very special. The three magical fairies all lived in a clock tower in London
with their mother. Once the fairies get older, they would have to move on with their lives in
another place.

The time finally arrived for the three fairies. “Be safe on your journey girls, I will always love you
all from the bottom of my heart”, said the mother. The girls were in tears of joy. They hugged
their mother and left the clock tower. After a long journey, the girls found a beautiful garden. They
landed safely in the garden and rested their wings for the night. After a couple of weeks, the fairies
had their own dome to live in. Violet’s dome was made out of violet flowers. Claire’s dome was
made out of bright green leafs and Peace’s dome was made out of colourful pebble stones.
One day, the girls went around the garden to find some fruit for them to eat. While Peace and
Violet was waiting for Claire, Claire made a rough landing in front of them! “Claire, are you alright?”,
said Violet. “No, we are all in danger! A crusher fairy was following me!”, shouted Claire.
“Shh! He’ll hear you!”, said Peace. A crusher fairy is very dangerous. They crush whatever they can
find which makes them more powerful than ever!

Please keep checking my blog for the rest of my fairy tale!
