EASYTEACHING.NET

Overview:

A probability activity where students write events to match the terms "Possible" and "Impossible." Designed for year 2.

Learning Objectives:

  • Understand and apply the probability terms "possible" and "impossible."
  • Create real-world scenarios to represent different probability levels.
  • Develop reasoning skills by determining the likelihood of various events.

How the Activity Works:
Students are tasked with writing events that fit the terms "Possible" and "Impossible." For example, a "Possible" event could be "It will rain tomorrow," while an "Impossible" event could be "A cat will fly." This activity provides a practical and engaging way for students to practise distinguishing between events that can and cannot happen.
