In this interactive workshop we use dice, cards and other paraphernalia to explore randomness. Students will learn about probability scales, relative frequency and consider the notion of a fair game.

Depending on the age group, students may also practice computing with fractions to solve concrete problems. Finally, time permitting, we explore careers in which an understanding of uncertainty and risk is essential.

Duration of workshop 45 min – 2 hours.
