Probability Mystery
This resource, written by Shirley Fall, has fourteen cards with statements about the likelihood of six different runners winning a race. Students are tasked with using the statements on the cards to determine who is most likely to win the race, with what probability, and in what sequence they would expect the...
Probability of One Event
This MEP resource from CIMT is taken from text book 7B which covers the mathematics scheme of work for the second half of year 7. Probability of one amount covers an introduction to probability, calculating the probability of a single event, relative frequency, complimentary events, estimating the number of...

Probability – Does It Clarify or Confuse?
This activity is produced by the Maths Magic project. Probability – Does It Clarify or Confuse? provides examples and ideas for discussing situations where probability helps in decision making, and situations where the mathematics of probability is counter intuitive. This activity allows learners to interrogate...
