For this activity students will need a piece of card (A4 size) and a split pin.

Students are provided with the It's a Matter of Luck Instruction Sheet which enables them to create their own spinner based on the population distribution, ie. 75% of the world's population is in the developing world and 25% in the developed world.

Once they have completed their spinner they complete an exercise which requires them to create their own set of statistics based on the outcome of spinning their spinner 20 times.

Using this data they will work out the likelihood of being born in the developed or developing part of the world.
