EASYTEACHING.NET
Overview:
A probability activity where students write events to match the terms "Certain," "Impossible," "Likely," and "Unlikely." Designed for students in year 2 and year 3.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand and apply probability terms: certain, impossible, likely, and unlikely.
- Create real-life scenarios to match different probability levels.
- Develop critical thinking by reasoning about the likelihood of events.
How the Activity Works:
Students are asked to write five events for each of the terms "Certain," "Impossible," "Likely," and "Unlikely." For example, a "Certain" event could be "The sun will rise tomorrow," while an "Impossible" event could be "It will snow in summer." This activity provides a practical and engaging way for students to practise identifying and applying probability concepts using real-world scenarios.
