Spinner on board. Ask students what they think it will

land on after 1 spin? Hand out 2 chips to each
students. On predictions they feel confident about
they can bet one chip.
We just made a prediction. What is a prediction? In
math, we call the odds or the chances of landing on
one of these colours probability
Body
Mini-lesson on parts of a bar graph:
1. After lesson, hand out blank bar graphs.
2. Fill in labels of bar graphs.
Check that every student has properly labelled
their bar graph.
Make a prediction on your prediction chart. Is it bad if
we guessed wrong? Should we lie about your
prediction? What happens when we change our
prediction after the spin? Why do we make predictions?
Were students able to make a valid prediction on their

prediction chart? Do students know the definition of
prediction?
Spin the spinner 3 times. Each time in-between ask for
some predictions from all students.
1. First spin have equal colours
10
2. Second spin add a second orange

3. Only have purple and green on spinner
After each prediction and spin, have students fill out
their bar graph.
What happened when we changed the number of
colours on our spinner?

Bar graphs need to be checked by teacher. Were they
labelled and filled in properly?
Next class we will be creating our own bar graphs
