5 March - Family Learning 6*

Title: Probability

Challenge Question
What is the probability of rolling a odd number of a die?

Learning Objectives

Beginning

To be able to use basic terms used to describe probability such as ‘certain’, ‘impossible’, 'likely'.

Developing

To be able to calculate the probability of outcomes of single events and understand that the probability scale runs from 0 to 1.

Mastering

To be able to calculate the probability of an event happening when you know the probability that the event doesn't happen. 
To be able to explain how to use a tree diagram to work out the probability of combined events.
