Probability

This resource guides and supports the explicit teaching of probability, through discussing the meaning of probability terminology; distinguishing between likely outcomes and outcomes that are not equally likely; and expressing probabilities as decimals, fractions and percentages. Accompanying worked examples and solutions are provided. Students can access the resources to clarify their understanding of probability and to work through sample questions.
