Summary

This unit focuses on developing mastery in the basic and developing concepts of probability.  The probability scale is explored; assigning values using fraction, decimals, percentages and words to describe the likelihood of an event.  Students are encouraged to be systematic when listing outcomes of single or combined events and to use appropriate forms to display outcomes such as two-way tables. Procedural variation in questioning is used to good effect to underpin the learning.  Probability experiments are explored practically with relative frequencies calculated and compared to theoretical probabilities. Theoretical probabilities are found from models and used to solve problems.  The unit is rounded off by a consideration of mutually exclusive events and associated calculations including adding simple probabilities and finding the probability of successive events.

What people say...

“
”

A generation ahead of everything else.  Perfect resources to give to non-specialists to deliver lessons with authority.

Don Jones. Assistant Principal: Achievement and Data, Ormiston Chadwick Academy

The fact that the resources are so thorough and there is a WS and HWK for every lesson, has saved me a huge amount of planning time as there is already plenty for students to do.
