The Learning Intention for this online session was to
understand the concept of probability
identify all possible outcomes and compare the likelihoods for simple situations involving chance
Reflection:
My students and I enjoyed this lesson. Some of them were surprised that probability (chance) is the maths concept. Starting by making connections to their personal experiences and prior-knowledge helped them feel more comfortable when exploring the new maths topic. I tried to vary the scaffolding of the activities to make the learning opportunities accessible to all my diverse learners. The carefully selected and prepared activities helped the students think through chances and compare the likelihoods for simple situations involving probability. I believe that all students showed their understanding of this concept. Some of them also understood that the probability can be linked to and measured using fractions.
Things to note: This lesson was filmed during lockdown.
