We have been learning about probability over the last few weeks. We know that probability is the likelihood or chance of an event occurring.  After some fun games we understood the probability line and can now  use vocabulary such as impossible, unlikely, even chance, likely and certain.

We investigated the probability of finding different coloured smarties and different combinations of chew sweets.

We worked hard on our ability to make reasonable predictions  as this skill will be important when we are making decision in the future.

Some of our lessons involved making a probability area model and using it to find probabilities of events.  This helped to develop a strong conceptual understanding of probability.
