I will then ask them what they think the chances are of their names being pulled. This will also test for prior knowledge.

I will ask each learner to write down their name on a piece of paper and put it in a hat for a lucky draw later.Question 1What do you think of when I use the word probability?Question 2What are the chances of any learner’s name to be pulled?Answer Each learner has a 1 in 6 chance of winning the lucky draw.The answer that the learners give here does not have to be correct. I am simply testing what they know without giving them the right answer because at the end of the lesson I will ask them again and see whether they can answer it correctly after learning the content.Question 3Has anyone in the class ever gambled before (not in a casino) but in any situation with any small amount of money or objects?Question 4What is your opinion on gambling, betting or predicting?__Annexure 2A video from YouTube with short clips showing anything to do with probability. It is a short funny video that I decided to use because it is a different resource that caters for this visual and auditory learner. It also shows that there are many different ways to refer to probability and chance.Annexure 4 QUESTION How many possible outcomes do we have when tossing a coin?EXPECTED ANSWERTossing a Coin When a coin is tossed, there are two possible outcomes:?heads (H) or ?tails (T)We say that the probability of the coin landing H is ?.And the probability of the coin landing T is ?.Probability of an event happening =Number of ways it can happen23495-889000Total number of outcomes__Annexure 5 After explaining the probability of a coin toss I will explain the three different ways in which you can write it using the word cards. 0123190FractionFraction 120309245PercentagePercentage50%046990Decimal Decimal 0,5Annexure 6I will divide the learners into two groups of 3. I will hand the one group a die and the other group a deck of cards (52 cards). I will then give them 2 minutes to look at what they have in front of them and to decide on the random event and the outcome.DieRandom event: Rolling the die which could land on numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6Outcome: There are 6 possible outcomes. It could land on 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6Question 1What is the probability of you rolling a 4?AnswerThe chances of rolling a "4" with a dieNumber of ways it can happen: 1 (there is only 1 face with a "4" on it)Total number of outcomes: 6 (there are 6 faces altogether)So the probability = 112065-50806112065-50806Fraction: Decimal: 1/6 = 0,1666666…Percentage: 1/6 x 100 =16, 66%Question 2What is the probability of you rolling a 0?AnswerThere are no faces with a 0 on them so there is a 0% chance of you rolling a 0 on the dieQuestion 3What is the probability of you rolling an even number?Answer2, 4, 6 are all even numbers which means that out of the 6 there are 3 even numbersThe chances of rolling an even number with a dieNumber of ways it can happen: 1 (there 3 even faces)Total number of outcomes: 6 (there are 6 faces altogether)So the probability = 312065-50806312065-50806Fraction: Decimal: 3/6 = 0,5Percentage: 0,5 x 100 = 50%Deck of cardsRandom event: Choosing a card from the deck when playing a game.Outcome: You can choose any ONE of the 52 cards in the deck.Question 1What is the probability of you drawing a queen of hearts?Answer The chances of rolling an even number with a dieNumber of ways it can happen: 1 (there is 1 queen of hearts)Total number of outcomes: 52 (there are 52 cards in a deck altogether)So the probability = 2612065-5080522612065-508052Fraction: Decimal: 26/52 = 0,5Percentage:26/52 x 100 = 50%Question 2What is the probability of you drawing any black card?AnswerThere are 26 red cards in a deck and 26 black cards in a deck.Number of ways it can happen: 26 (there are 26 black cards)Total number of outcomes: 52 (there are 52 cards in a deck altogether)So the probability = 112065-508052112065-508052Fraction: Decimal: 1/52 = 0,01923…Percentage:1/52 x 100 = 1.92%Annexure 7I have made a poster of the probability line and I will explain how it works and show them where their answers of the activity fit in-3810022352000Annexure 8I will hand all of the learners in the class a packet of smarties. In pairs they have to throw out the smarties and count all of them. They then have to count how many colours there are and write down how many of each colour is in the box of smarties. They then have to write down the probability of drawing each colour in the box. The probability should be written down in a fraction, percentage and decimal.Example: There are 10 smarties in the box. 2 blue, 3 red, 4 green, I blackBlue:Fraction – 2/10Decimal – 2/10 = 0,2Percentage: - 2/10 x 100 = 20% ................
