Focused preparation · Year 5 numeracy
Count the outcomes. Compare the chances.
Start with chance words and outcomes. Use clear models to compare events, then practise with 20 original questions and worked feedback.
This is one small part of Year 5 numeracy. It is not a complete NAPLAN test, and the questions do not estimate a score.
The lessons and full practice set open from a saved Year 5 goal with current learning access.
Count each outcome
A well-mixed bag holds five same-size counters. Each counter has an equal chance of being drawn.
Move from words to evidence
- 1. Name the possible outcomes. The model shows every equally likely counter, card, ticket or spinner sector.
- 2. Learn with examples. The linked lessons use worked steps, guided practice and hints before independent questions.
- 3. Compare and count. Apply the idea to fresh, single-draw or single-spin questions with a stable set of outcomes.
- 4. Read the reason. Check the worked explanation and return to the relevant lesson when an answer is unsure.
Connected to a real learning route
Your saved plan contains 12 lessons in its prerequisite path. These two lessons feed the questions directly; the earlier number and fraction foundations remain available for review.

Where the assessment link ends
Official Year 5 proficiency descriptions mention likelihood, chance order and equally likely outcomes. Probability fractions here extend the Stage 3 lesson; we do not call them an official Year 5 test requirement.
The numeracy assessment covers six strands and several response formats. This route offers a limited chance foundation using multiple-choice practice only.
