Year 7 & 8 Probability Ideas new
Is probability really just about flipping coins, rolling dice and playing fun games?
Michelle and Grant looked at junior probability in high school and how important it is to build probability foundations for future success. Teachers trialed activities that start conversations about randomness, chance, unpredictability and risk.
Many of the ideas here could be adapted for year 7 & 8 students, especially the probability activities from slide 24 and vocabulary from slide 9.
