Probability - Mathematics

Topic	Level 3	Level 4	Level 5
Basic probability	Chance and sample space	Use simple fractions and percentages to describe probabilities.	Calculate probabilities, using fractions, %, and ratios. Compare and describe theoretical and experimental probability
Tables	Simple tables	2 way tables
Trees	List outcomes	Complete tree	Create and complete
Literacy Strategy		Word definition Chunking Word Bank
Teaching Strategy		Using images to understand probability concepts Every answer will have a big bottom When you move along the tree, x More than 1 answer, + For 2 way tables, first information is the big bottom

Probability Program:

Activity 1

Word	Explanation	Images/notes
Chance	The chance of a particular outcome will occur✔
Probability	How likely something is to happen✔
Unlikely	A event not likely to happen✔
Equally Likely	There’s an even chance that something could happen✔
Impossible	The event will never happen✔
Probability Scale	Probability Scale has numbers from 0/Impossible - 1/Certain✔
Theoretical Probability	We use our theory of knowledge ✔	We use our theory of knowledge ✔
Practical Probability	Test the experiment✔	Test the experiment✔

Activity 2

Sample Space

When you list out all the outcomes:✔ Coin - H, T✔ Season - Winter, Summer, Autumn, Spring✔ Days of the week - Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday✔ RISE poster - Respect, Integrity, Success, Responsibility

Activity 3

Tables

Social Media	Frequency
Snapchat S	11
Facebook F	9
Blogger B	10

P(S)=11/10

P(F)=9/10

P(B)=10/10

P(B,S)=11/10

P(noF)= 17/33

Social Media	Boys B	Girls G	Total
Snapchat S	7	10	17✔
Facebook F	11	5	16✔
Total	18✔	15✔	33✔

P(B,F)= 11/18✔

P(S)=17/33

P(S,B)=21/17

Activity 4

Use the spinner above to answer theoretical probability questions.

P(1)= ⅛✔

P(Red) = ⅜

P(odd number) = 4/8 ✔

P(less than 5) = 4/8✔

P(multiple of 3) = 2/8✔

P(factors of 8) = 4/8✔

Spin the basic spinner 40 times to answer practical probability questions

P(orange) = ¼ ✔

P(not blue) = ¾ ✔

P(grey or pink) = 2/4 ✔

P(white) = 0/4 ✔

Compare answers above with theoretical data if you had to spin the same spinner 40

P(orange) = 25%✔

P(not blue) = 75%✔

P(grey or pink) = 50%✔

P(white) = 0%✔

Activity 5

P(Male is married) = 7/10

P(Female is married) = 3/10

P(Choosing someone who is single) = 1 Whole 1/10

Mrs Dunn Flips a coin twice and says that she will either get  heads, 2 tails or 1 head and 1 tail because there are 3 outcomes, the

P(H,H) = ⅓

P(H,T in any order) = ⅓

P(T,T) = ⅓

My Reflection and experience!!!

From my personal experience, I would have to say that my reason about this whole entire topic was really excellent. Because I currently got to work together with my class and my teacher (Mrs Dunn). But out of all topics I would have to say that probability was the best because there was a lot of concentration and communication between each other which I find quite fun and positive in a way.
