Good morning P6/7! I hope you are all feeling good today!
Probability or chance is how likely something is to happen. If something has a low probability, it is unlikely to happen. If something has a high probability, it is likely to happen.
Starter:
Probabilities are most commonly shown as fractions. The probability of getting ‘tails’ when you toss a coin is a 1 in 2 chance, or 1/2.
Probabilities can also be shown as decimals or percentages. A probability of 1/2 can also be shown as 0.5 or 50%.
Activity: I can use probability vocabulary to state the chances of an event happening.
