Probability
This resource contains seventeen instant maths ideas beginning by exploring probability scales and simple probability. Students are asked to invent a fair game, to conduct an experiment using two dice and to discuss a number of statements relating to probability. Further suggestions include experimenting with three dice, Buffon’s needle and the Monty Hall problem. Student resources include using a number grid to help calculate different probabilities, the paving slabs investigation and blanks for drawing tree diagrams. A summary sheet explains many aspects of probability including combined events, mutually exclusive events, conditional probability and independent events.
