Year 3 Test 2 Term 1

There are six spaces that have a number. Spin the arrow and it will land on one of the spaces with a number.

If I spin this arrow, what is the chance it will land on the space with the number 5?

• 1 out of 6 chances

• 4 out of 6 chances

• 6 out of 1 chances

• 5 out of 6 chances

Answer explanation

When you spin the arrow it could land anywhere. There are six sections so the chance of landing in one of them is called one-in-six. It’s the same when you throw a die. Sometimes it will be a fi ve and sometimes it will not. Overall you should expect that it will be the number that you want about one in every six times.
