Flipping 3 coins
Duration: 5:26
Use the Polypad below to flip the 25 sets of coins 8 times.
Use the table to record the total number of HHH and TTT combinations you flip.
Hint! Add each new flip total to the one before, so you get the final total for all 200 flips.
Polypad – Flipping coins
Look at some of the results from other students.
How do they compare to yours?
Overall, are there more HHH or TTT combinations flipped?
Why do you think this is the case?
Student 1 – Results
Student 2 – Results
Student 3 – Results
Would you like a tip?
Would you like a tip?
Compare your results with one of the other solutions.
How many HHH did you flip compared to them?
How many TTT did you flip compared to them?
Are the results pretty close to each other?
Why do you think this is?
Compare the results to another solution and see what you discover.
Want to stretch your thinking?
Want to stretch your thinking?
Would these results change if we were flipping 4 coins 25 times? Why or why not?
If you have some coins or counters, conduct this experiment 4 different times.
Record your results and check if your predictions were correct.
Creating a probability tree
Creating a probability tree
You will need:
coloured pencils
a workbook or paper
Use the Polypad above to flip all 25 coins again.
Record all of the different combinations you created.
Example heads or tails results
How many different combination types are possible?
How can you organise and record these, so you know you didn't miss any?

We can conclude that it is equally likely to flip any of the eight different coin combinations.
Challenge!
You are playing a game with a friend where you'll flip 3 coins. Player One will win if exactly two of the coins land on heads, otherwise Player Two wins.
Which player do you want to be, to have the greatest chance of winning?
Explain your decision.

Draw and label a diagram of your creation.
Write an explanation about:
which threat you chose
how your design works
how it will help protect the Little Penguins.
Example – Strategy for protecting penguins
Challenge!
Use recyclable materials to turn your design into a three-dimensional prototype (3D model).
Do some research to find out about what animals are native in your local area.
Design a solution to look after this local species and explain how it will work.
Think about how you could encourage your local community to provide support.
