Number patterns and algebraic thinking description
Figuring out how a pattern works brings predictability and allows the making of generalisations. This sub-element describes how a student becomes increasingly able to identify a pattern as something that is a discernible regularity in a group of numbers …

Probabilities expresses probability as the number of ways an event can happen out of the total number of possibilities describes probabilities as fractions of one (the probability of an even number when rolling a dice is \(\frac12\))
