In the sample space lessons, students explore all possible outcomes of a probabilistic event. Tutero uses practical examples like dice rolls and card games to help students understand and organise sample spaces, building a foundation for more advanced studies in probability
The sample space lesson plan includes enabling prompts to aid students in defining and listing sample spaces for simple random experiments, complemented by extending prompts for those prepared to analyse complex sample spaces involving multiple stages and events. This approach helps students understand the foundation of probability theory.

Introduction to Sample Space
Students start by understanding the concept of sample space as the set of all possible outcomes of a random process or experiment. They learn to list outcomes for simple events and gradually move to more complex scenarios using tree diagrams and tables. By Year 5, they calculate probabilities based on sample spaces and use them to make predictions about outcomes and test hypotheses.
Creating Sample Space for Simple Events
Students begin by creating sample spaces for simple random events, such as rolling a die or drawing cards. They use lists, grids, or tree diagrams to represent all possible outcomes. By Year 5, they construct sample spaces for more complex events and use these to calculate probabilities and make predictions.
Sample Space in Probability Problems
Students create sample spaces for simple probability experiments to understand the fundamental basis of probability calculations. They progress to constructing sample spaces for more complex scenarios, using them to calculate probabilities of compound events. By Year 5, students use sample spaces to solve sophisticated probability problems, applying their knowledge in gaming, finance, and risk assessment.
