Teaching probability tree diagrams for the first time? Or just need to go at a slower pace (With visual prompts) then this is the perfect resource for your lesson. The resources could last between 2-3 lessons depending on the group.
There are 28 slides including a history of tree diagrams, example GCSE questions where students are required to understand that probability adds up to 1.
There are support examples which lead students step by step through the idea of how to form the fractions to fill in the tree diagram.
There are lots of examples and questions where you can cross out the red/yellow counters to help students understand the idea of without replacement as you progress through the lesson(s).
This complete lesson could be used at upper KS2, KS3 or even for revision for Foundation KS4 students. I have used this with both primary classes and lower ability secondary classes.
The lesson covers the probability scale (likelihood and expressing probability as fractions) and provides students witha variety of different basic probability style questions.
This is a fantastic 5 LESSONS on Probability. All lessons include starters, activities, worksheets, answers, lesson objectives, keywords, etc.
Lesson 1 - Probability Scale
Lesson 2 - Listing Outcomes
Lesson 3 - Theoretical Probability 1
Lesson 4 - Theoretical Probability 2
Lesson 5 - Relative Frequency (including Monopoly activity and bias dice)

Probability and Math Escape Room - Digital Escape Room - Looking in depth at probability - Digital Escape Room for Students KS4 or KS3 . Escape Room is fully editable so you can chose to adapt the vocabulary if you want.
This lasts an hour or under depending on how quick students can solve each puzzle! Students love this style of lesson, great as an educational treat for your class to start the year and engage them in some fun problem solving. C8/ES/220
How can this resource be adapted for social distancing?
Upload / send the sheets digitally so students who can work independently through them (don’t use the keys or PPT tracker if so)
Could use as part of a Recovery Curriculum

A powerpoint including examples, worksheets and solutions on probability of one or more events using lists, tables and tree diagrams. Also covers expectation, experimental probability and misconceptions relating to probability. Also includes some classics probability games, puzzles and surprising facts. Worksheets at bottom of presentation for printing.
Six lessons on Probability. Foundation tier. GCSE. All resources are attached in the Notebook file.
Learning Objective 1: to be able to understand the probability scale and
calculate total probability
Learning Objective 2: to be able to write probabilities as fractions, percentages or decimals and calculate the probability of an event not happening
Learning Objective 3: to be able to find the expected number of outcomes in an experiment
Learning Objective 4: to be able to understand that relative frequency can be used to estimate probability
Learning Objective 5: to be able to list outcomes systematically, and find their probabilities
Learning Objective 6: to be able to complete probability tables, knowing that probabilities add to 1
PROBABILITY - A step by step guide to ALL of the topics covered at Foundation level. I’ve shown examples of how to successfully answer each questions, followed by a typical GCSE exam question. Each topic could be used toteach your students in KS3, or as revision for your Year 11 students. All you will need to do is have some suitable worksheets at hand.
Year 7 consists mainly of three sections: number, shape and data handling. This PowerPoint includes everything you need to teach this unit for up to 6 weeks!
This topic covers a variety of skills essential for the year 7 syllabus, and is suitable and differentiated for everyone; for mainstream students and SEN students.
Including key words, plenaries and learning objectives, this module covers:
the language of probability
outcomes
probability calculations
probability trees
experimental probability
comparing probability
This revision is pitched mainly at foundation students, however it is also ideal for higher level students.
Through worked examples the students revise the fact of multiplying "branches" together in order to obtain an outcome for two event.
Further examples look at when there are more than two possible outcomes which would imply we add the solutions together.
Nicely broken up for a student who is probably struggling with the grade 5 work. There are also several questions for the students to attempt in-between the examples. Answers are provided.
Excellent resource differentiated with 6 levels of differentiation for understanding probability scales.
Questions labeling scales with words, probabilities and also scenarios.
Can be used for any set as it has questions for the lower ability and the higher levels can stretch the higher ability.
Please do leave a review if you like the worksheet.
Thank You
This is a whole lesson on Relative Frequency or Experimental Probability. This is a really fun lesson that involves figuring out which are the best properties to own in Monopoly as well as making bias dice. There is enough material here for some groups to be two lessons. This lesson is ready to go and is superb for home or distance learning. Great for flipped learning. 17-slide presentation + ORIGINAL VIDEO CONTENT + lots of supplementary resources.
The lesson comes with:
+ a Starter
+ Learning Objectives (differentiated)
+ keywords
+ superb teaching slides (with custom animation)
+ lots of examples
+ FULL ORIGINAL VIDEO CONTENT (11 MINS)
+ Worksheet (for finding the best properties in Monopoly)
+ A pre-made spreadsheet to help with the results
+ Handout (for creating biased dice)
+ Plenary

A PPT and lesson plan that I used during inspection week which went really well! the children got to eat the Skittles at the end if they worked hard enough ;)
There’s also a meme at the end that inspires some good thinking (and the children love!)
Probability: These probability cootie catchers are a great way for students to have fun while they practice their skills with calculating probability. How to Play and Assembly Instructions are included.
Probability Cootie Catchers Contents:
There are 2 cootie catchers in this product, each one having 8 problems for a total of 16 problems. Students are given a word problem and are asked to determine the probability of the event happening. Answers are included for each question.

A series of lessons (2-4) on finding probabilities from a probability tree diagram. There are various tasks and problems in which probabilities remain the same and a diagram is draw and interpreted. There are also reverse problems and also algebraic problems in line with the new curriculum. The lesson then moves on to conditional probability and this is also linked to reverse problems and also algebraic problems to ensure all learners can access using and applying tree diagrams.
All tasks are differentiated to at least 3 levels. There are reasoning and problem solving tasks which are suitable for the new curriculum. All tasks have solutions so that it is easy for the pupils to mark their work. This has been used and allowed pupils to master the skill and for the more able to develop their understanding
