         <description><![CDATA[<p>Activity: Each student will toss a coin 20 times and record how many times it lands on heads and tails. Use fractions, decimals, or percentages to show the results (e.g., 8/20, 0.4, or 40% heads).<br><br>Discuss: Was the result what you expected? Why do you think we got these results?</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[Make a list of 5 MTR lines (e.g., Island Line, Kwun Tong Line, Tseung Kwan O Line, Tung Chung Line, Disneyland Resort Line). Put their names in a bag. Each student picks a line without looking. What is the probability (as a fraction, decimal, and percentage) of picking each line?<br><br>Extension: Add more lines to see how probabilities change.]]></description>
