AC9M5P02
Official content description
conduct repeated chance experiments including those with and without equally likely outcomes, observe and record the results; use frequency to compare outcomes and estimate their likelihoods

TeachKoala turns this descriptor into a complete lesson — illustrated slides with teacher notes, a differentiated activity sheet and a quiz — aligned to AC9M5P02 specifically, never an invented code. Your first lesson is free.

What Year 5 Maths students should achieve
Coverage is judged against the achievement standard — not by ticking every content description. These are the official Year 5 Maths standard sentences this code builds towards:
- They choose and use appropriate metric units to measure the attributes of length, mass and capacity, and to solve problems involving perimeter and area.
- They represent common percentages and connect them to their fraction and decimal equivalents.
- They estimate, construct and measure angles in degrees.
- Students perform and describe the results of transformations and identify any symmetries.
- Students convert between 12- and 24-hour time.
- By the end of Year 5, students use place value to write and order decimals including decimals greater than one.
The Probability progression either side of AC9M5P02
A class can only meet this descriptor if they were taught the one before it. If yours hasn't, that's where the lesson starts — not here.
Taught before · Year 4
- AC9M4P01describe possible everyday events and the possible outcomes of chance experiments and order outcomes or events based on their likelihood of occurring; identify independent or dependent events
- AC9M4P02conduct repeated chance experiments to observe relationships between outcomes; identify and describe the variation in results
Builds towards · Year 6
- AC9M6P01recognise that probabilities lie on numerical scales of 0 – 1 or 0% – 100% and use estimation to assign probabilities that events occur in a given context, using common fractions, percentages and decimals
- AC9M6P02conduct repeated chance experiments and run simulations with an increasing number of trials using digital tools; compare observations with expected results and discuss the effect on variation of increasing the number of trials
