              Probability Experiment

              Students carry out a probability experiment to explore the relationship between theoretical and experimental probability.   Throughout the course of the lesson students are challenged to assign a set of events given fixed probabilities, design an experiment to test their accuracy and discuss their findings using bias.
              Differentiated Learning Objectives
              • All students should be able to determine a set of overlapping events given probabilities.
              • Most students should be able to design an experiment to compare theoretical and experimental probabilities.
              • Some students should be able to compare theoretical and experimental probabilities and understand the concept of relative frequency.

              Area of Compound Shapes

              January 13, 2020

              To find the area of compound shapes students need to understand what the word compound means.  Therefore, I ask students to discuss in pairs a definition for the word compound and to extend it to include the shapes below.  As a result of their learning in science students agree that a compound can be defined […]

              Priorities for the Spring Term

              January 4, 2020

              At the start of the Spring Term these are three main priorities for me as the Head of Mathematics.

              Mutually Exclusive Outcomes and Events

              January 1, 2020

              I teach mutually exclusive outcomes directly after students have encountered Venn diagrams. This is the fifth Year 8 Probability lesson.
