Understanding Tree Diagrams
Students begin by learning what tree diagrams are and how they represent various outcomes of a sequence of events or decisions graphically. Initially, they use tree diagrams for simple probability exercises, such as flipping coins or rolling dice. By Year 5, they utilise tree diagrams to solve complex problems involving conditional probabilities and combinations, understanding their utility in organising and visualising decision processes and probability outcomes.
Creating Simple Tree Diagrams
Students start by learning to create tree diagrams for very basic scenarios involving one or two stages, such as tossing a coin or rolling a die. They use tree diagrams to visualise and organise possible outcomes. By Year 5, students are adept at constructing tree diagrams for more complex situations with multiple stages, using them to calculate probabilities and make predictions based on the visual representation of all possible outcomes.
Tree Diagrams for Probability
Students start by using tree diagrams to represent simple probability scenarios, such as flipping coins or choosing colored balls from bags. They learn how each branch represents a possible outcome and how to calculate the probability of sequences of events. By Year 5, students use tree diagrams for complex probability problems involving multiple stages and dependent events, calculating the probabilities of combined events and applying these skills in game theory and decision-making processes.
