Probability: risk free

Resources:

Lars Thomsen workshop focused on changes to the level 2 probability standard. The new focus has important pedagogical changes for teachers to be aware of. Students need to see how random events behave and stabilise under the law of large numbers and therefore teachers need to provide multiple learning opportunities over many years that look at variation due to chance.

Classroom tasks about:

  • Experimental probability
  • Whether data is normally distributed
  • Using Multi Choice quizzes to provoke probability thinking/investigations
  •  Two way tables
