**Probability**

Linking cubes activity for probability (Amy Kelland & Victoria Lyttle)


 * Have students choose their favourite colour of linking cube from a bag
 * Once students all have cubes, have the students stand up when you call their colour so students can count the number of students with each colour of cube


 * Write the total number of students in the class on the board
 * Write down the numbers of students corresponding to each colour on the board as you go
 * If a giant came into the class and randomly took a student with their cube:


 * What is the probability of picking a certain colour of cube?
 * What colour would it most likely end up taking?
 * What colour would it least likely end up taking?


 * Area and Patterns**

Patterned floor tile using pattern blocks (By Amy Kelland & Victoria Lyttle)


 * Give the students a bag of pattern tiles
 * Tell them they are to create a pattern that they would like to use to tile their kitchen in the future
 * Once they have a pattern in front of them, tell them to find the area of their patterned tile where the area of the triangular piece is one unit
