Probability Match Up: Fractions

Overview:

A probability activity designed for upper years students, where they match fractions representing probability to various events or scenarios. This helps students develop a deeper understanding of chance and assess the likelihood of different outcomes.

Learning Objectives:

• Interpret probability represented as fractions.
• Evaluate the likelihood of different scenarios using probability.
• Enhance critical thinking skills by categorising events based on their probability.

How the Activity Works:

Students are provided with a set of scenarios, such as "Flipping a coin 10 times and getting tails each time." They match fractions representing the probability of each event to the corresponding scenario. Students will cut and paste the probability cards into the appropriate events. This activity offers a hands-on approach for students to understand and apply fractions in the context of probability.
