Probability: 8/20 Percentages: 40%

Walht: assign probabilities to simple events using fractions and percentages.
Today I was learning to assign probabilities to a game played with two 10 sided dice. I played with Zain. We alternated rolling the dice. We did this 20 times. We recorded our score in the outcomes column. Of the 20 attempts we were successful eight times. So the probability is 8/20 as a simple fraction and 40% as a percentage. Since  we did similar games this week I have a better understanding of probability. Next I ‘d like to play more probability games.

I really liked that you said you want to play more probability games. I did this with you and this took really long rolling the dice 20 times! You could have added in if you were disappointed with your score your not. Were you disappointed with your score?
