Chance and Data

I have searched online activities for kids' learning about Chance and Data.
I only got 2 websites from 'Curriculum Exchange Mathematics Gateway'.
Let see if they are useful for teachers or students.

Chance and Data (1)
Chance and Data (2)

Unfortunately, both these websites require password. If you are eligible for Queensland Education, you can access this website.

Do you know that huge number of mathematical activities can be found via the Internet. This morning, I am excited finding Tower of Hanoi Game. I learnt about it in my undergraduate (IKIP Ujungpandang Indonesia) and we called 'Menara Hanoi'
Is this Game related to Chance and Data? Yes or Not? Why yes or why not? Let's think!

Double of 2 is 4, or you can say 2 + 2 = 4
Double of 100 is 200, or you can say 100 + 100 = 200

Less or more

Our kids need to understand the term 'less than' and 'more than'
Hi kids, would you mind to tell me some real life problems using those term, please?
In my own language (Bahasa Indonesia), I usually hear someone said:
Usia kakak saya dua tahun lebih tua dari usia Arif.
Please think what languages do you usally use when comapring your weight, your tall and so on.
Tell me why these words 'less than' or 'more than' are important for us.

Addition and Substraction

This morning, I was be a volunteer in two classes.
In the first class (Year 1), I helped students using computers with a kid pix program. They were using this program to write their name.
In the second class (Year 2), I helped a group of students to learn about numbers using online resources, namely:
1. base blocks
2. number puzzle
3. addition 2 digits
I have learnt much from the students and teachers by being volunteer in their classrooms.
This experiences
