Probability as a Fraction

Describe the probability of simple equally-likely outcomes using unit fractions: the probability of rolling a 6 on a fair die is 1/6, flipping heads is 1/2, picking one specific colour from three equally represented colours is 1/3; place these fractional probabilities on a 0-to-1 probability scale

Check understanding

  • State that the probability of rolling a 6 on a fair die is 1/6 and explain why
  • Express the probability of picking a red card from a standard deck as 26/52 or 1/2
  • Write the probability of a simple event as a fraction: favourable outcomes over total outcomes
“If your child flips a fair coin, do they know the probability of getting heads is 1/2 — and can they express similar simple probabilities as fractions and place them on a 0-to-1 scale?”
