Starting this week, I will do a PE Google Meet on Wednesdays so we can be active together. Please read the attachment to learn all about it.

Probability is the chance that something can happen! It can be shown on a line (using terms like 'impossible' or 'unlikely', or fractions like '1/2' or '1/10'!)

Probability is the chance that something will happen. It can be shown on a line:
The probability of an event occurring is somewhere between impossible and certain.

As well as words, we can use numbers to show the probability of something happening:

We can use fractions:

Or percents:

Or decimals:

Example: here we show the probability that:

a) The sun will rise tomorrow

b) I will not have to learn mathematics at school

c) If I flip a coin it will land heads up

d) Choosing a red ball from a bag with 1 red ball and 3 green balls

Where would you place names like "fair chance", "remote chance", "possible", "probable" and "improbable"?

Between 0 and 1

The probability of an event will not be less than 0.
This is because 0 is impossible (sure that something will not happen).

The probability of an event will not be more than 1.
This is because 1 is certain that something will happen.

Names

People use many names when talking about probability! Such as odds, chance and so on.

Example: 50/50 chance

means exactly 50% chance, which is also 0.5 or ½

Notation

In mathematics we use the letter P to mean "probability of", like this:

Example: "the probability of choosing an ace is 1 in 13" is written:

It sure saves a lot of writing!

Using one of three research links (all posted here) on the Coronavirus, we're going to be creating an informational poster. Your poster can be on any aspect of the Coronavirus, from what it is, to how it spreads, to how to protect yourself, to miscellaneous important facts!

Before getting into what this poster needs, here are our three research links...
1. Coronavirus Explained Video (Simple) - https://youtu.be/MVvVTDhGqaA
2. Coronavirus Explained Video (More Advanced) - https://youtu.be/D9tTi-CDjDU
3. Coronavirus Explained Booklet - Attached below!

Your informational poster must include the following...

1. Coverage of the Topic
Details on the poster capture the important information about the topic and increase the audience’s understanding.
Tell us something that we don’t already know, and will explain your topic!

2. Use of Graphics
All graphics are related to the topic and make it easier to understand.
Do your pictures directly explain/relate to your poster’s topic?

3. Layout and Design
All information on the poster is in focus and can be easily viewed and identified from a few metres away!
Eye-catching! Can we read this at a distance, and is it interesting?

4. Sources
All sources (information and graphics) are accurately documented.
Where did you get your information? Is it reliable?

5. Mechanics
No grammatical, spelling or punctuation errors.

6. Message
Convince me (somehow, through pictures or words or any other method) of the message of your poster!

Using your own poster paper at home (or a program like www.canva.com if doing so electronically) create an informational poster on an aspect of the Coronavirus! It needs to inform/teacher the reader at least three things, have a cited source, have a clear message (not just random facts), and have eye-catching graphics and layout!

Learning Goal - I can make sensible predictions for what will happen in a probability experiment, and I can explain my reasons.

Minds On Activity - Click here!

Action Task - Click here! You'll can turn in your work (answers to this experiment and two questions) on Edmodo (in our Mathematics section)! Remember that you can submit your work in a variety of ways, including using a voice recorder to record you reading out your responses! You don't need to use cubes for this; anything in your house will work, as long as you have one colour (they mentioned red in this experiment) being picked approximately half of the time!

Prodigy is currently set to test your Probability skills! If you've forgotten your username and password, contact me on Edmodo or via e-mail.

Action Task - Click here! You'll can turn in your work) on Edmodo (in our Mathematics section)! Just questions 1 and 2 need to be completed; any additional answers will garner you classroom ballots (if correct)! Remember that you can submit your work in a variety of ways, including using a voice recorder to record you reading out your responses!
