Probability
Designed to improve confidence in mathematics, these resources from the Centre for Innovation in Mathematics Teaching, focus on probability and were developed particularly for primary teachers and those non-specialists who teach mathematics in the lower secondary years.
Each section offers an overview of a...
This text, requiring only a background of high school algebra, presents an axiomatic development of probability theory as a model for experiments resulting in one of a finite number of outcomes.
Probability - Two Events
This MEP resource from CIMT is taken from text book 8A which covers the mathematics scheme of work for the first half of year 8.
Probability - two events covers: a recap of basic probability for one event, listing all the outcomes with two events, finding probability using listings, using the multiplication...
This resource from the Continuing Mathematics Project has three units covering probability.
Introducing Probability is the first unit and its objectives are that students will learn that a probability can be from intuitive considerations or actual experimental results; the meaning of 'outcomes', 'sample...
This resource from the Continuing Mathematics Project has three units covering probability. Some Basic Rules of Probability is the second unit and its objectives are for students to consolidate their understanding of 'complementary events', remind them that the sum of complementary events is 1 and show how to...
This resource from the Continuing Mathematics Project has three units covering probability. More Basic Rules of Probability is the third unit and covers events for which probabilities are calculated by multiplication. They are called AND events, it shows that they are composed of basic events which can either be...
This item is one of over 25,000 physical resources available from the Resources Collection. The Archive Collection covers over 50 years of curriculum development in the STEM subjects. The Contemporary Collection includes all the latest publications from UK educational publishers.
This sub-collection of materials from the dy/dan collection contains three resources that bring mathematical storytelling to the classroom in the context of ‘statistics’. Resources comprise:
-
Act One: a video or photograph to provide a ‘hook’ to the problem
-
Act Two: further...
Probability and Statistics
Probability and statistics, from the Nuffield Mathematics Project, starts with play activities which can develop ideas of fairness and probability through discussions on common facts leading to the collection of data, illustrating it with graphs and charts and drawing...
