What are predictable outcomes?

Predictable outcomes are things that happen the same way every time, just like your favorite toy always works the same when you press its button.

Imagine you have a red ball and a blue ramp. Every day after school, you roll the red ball down the blue ramp. No matter what, the ball always rolls to the bottom of the ramp, that’s a predictable outcome! You don’t need to guess where it will end up; you already know.

When something has predictable outcomes, you can plan better. Like when you know your lunch is always in the same spot in the fridge, or when you know your friend always brings stickers on Fridays.

It’s like having a recipe for cookies, if you follow it every time, you get the same tasty result. If the ramp is smooth and the ball isn’t broken, the outcome doesn’t change, it stays predictable!

So next time you roll that red ball down the blue ramp, remember: you’re seeing predictable outcomes in action!
