Let's predict how often something will happen... In %.

If I flip a coin. In %, how big is the chance that the 1 euro will come out on top?

10 %? 20%? 100%? 50?

% chance you will have sweet lunch today.

% chance you fall on the floor while walking today.

% chance that you will get new spelling words on Monday.

% chance that you will play werewolves today.

% chance that you will make a profit during the PYP 4 market.

% chance that someone will tell you a funny joke today.

Now it's time for some own investigations!

First with marbles, and then with dice blocks!
