Understanding Probability in Functional Maths Curriculum
Explore probability concepts in functional maths, such as understanding probability scales, comparing likelihood of events, calculating probabilities of simple and combined events, and expressing probabilities as fractions, decimals, and percentages. Practice drawing probability lines, simplifying fractions, and determining the likelihood of events happening. Improve skills in labeling events as impossible, likely, etc., and display probabilities on number lines.

Description: swlogo L1-2 Functional Maths Probability Reformed Functional Maths curriculum links: Level 1 L1.30 Understand probability on a scale from 0 (impossible) to 1 (certain) and use probabilities to compare the likelihood of events L1.31 Use equally likely outcomes to find the probabilities of simple events and express them as fractions Level 2 L2.26 Work out the probability of combined events including the use of diagrams and tables, including two- way tables (not covered) L2.27 Express probabilities as fractions, decimals and percentages July 2020.

Search for Mark on www.skillsworkshop.org Please refer to the download page for this resource on skillsworkshop for detailed curriculum links and related resources (including a link to PDF worksheet used on slide 5). Note that slide 5 of this PPT refers to the questions on this skillsworkshop worksheet written by Nick Worsley(2018) https://www.skillsworkshop.org/resources/independent_events_l2_probability This PPT includes animations (pop up answers) and should be run full screen. For further guidance, teachers should also refer to the notes area under some of the slides.

Task 1. Calculate the probability of events happening 1. 2 marks 6. 2 marks 2. 1 mark 7. 2 marks 3. 1 mark 8. 1 mark Total marks available = 27 4. 2 marks 9. A) 2 marks, B) 2 marks, C) 2 marks, D) 2 marks Extension Question Challenge include the skill of simplifying the fraction for part A and D 5. 3 marks (3 alternative answers) 10.A) 2 marks, B) 2marks, C) 1 mark
Task 2. Label these events as impossible, likely, etc. The sun setting this evening Picking a 1 coin from a bag that contains only 2 coins Rain in June in the UK Snow in June in England Throwing an even number on a standard die Certain Impossible Unlikely Likely Evens Extension Write another event that you could place under each word on the probability line.
3. Display probability of events on a number line The bigger probability Getting heads when flicking a coin 6 people out of 24 pass a test It will be Sunday tomorrow There are 60 seconds in a minute Rolling a number less than 5 on a dice In a bowl of 10 fruit there are 2 apples Extension Write these fractions in their approximate places on the line: 1/5, 8/10, 12/24, 3/3
