Lesson resources. For teachers, by teachers...

Recent updates to this pack: 7th Sept. 2017 ✓ Now added 125 animated editable slide presentation to present prior to using print-n-go sheets to familiarise students with nature of questions ✓ Student guided notes to use with PPT ✓ Teacher's guided notes PRINT-N-GO SHEETS Cover pages for each section, if compiling sheets into a booklet. 1. The Probability Scale; Words Describing Chance: ♦ Definitions and given scenarios ♦ Chance and Data (language of chance); class survey: favourite food; favourite sport 2. Theoretical Probability: Manipulatives, spinner numbers, spinner names, spinner colours, marbles, dice numbers, playing cards 3.Theoretical Probability: possible outcomes using Tree Diagrams and Grids ♦ two coins ♦ a coin and a dice ♦ a dice and a spinner 4. Theoretical and Experimental Probability: ♦ Rolling a six-sided dice a given number of times. ♦ Tossing two coins a given number of times. ♦ Spinning a spinner a given number of times. ♦ Picking an M&M colour a given number of times. 5. Experimental Probability: ♦ Dice roll to find the number of trials and relative frequency of the numbers rolled. ♦ Group experiment to toss a coin a given number of times and record the total heads, total tails, total outcomes, and relative frequencies of heads and tails (fractions and decimals) for each group. This is to prove the law of large numbers that indicate that as the number of trials increase, the relative frequencies tend to get closer to the expected value (0.5) of tossing a coin. 6. Word Problems for both theoretical and experimental probability outcomes: This section features ‘Work with Teacher’ and ‘Student Practice’ pages. The ‘Work with Teacher’ page will enable you to demonstrate the solution for each problem. I work on the PDF version of the file on the I-pad. This is projected on the interactive whiteboard (via a VGA cable) as I show annotations and working out of the problems. The ‘Student Practice’ pages will enable your students to practise the problem-solving strategies modelled by you in the ‘Work with Teacher’ pages. Problems are the same format with only a change in the numbers. Nature of Problems: ♦ Picking a favourable outcome from given possible outcomes. ♦ Problems pertaining to coin tosses and dice rolls ♦ Real-life problem: left-handed, right-handed people ♦ Problems involving possible combinations shown via a tree diagram ♦ Problems with Spinner spins → Also included 18 colourful and meaningful vocabulary cards.
