Mathematics learning objectives
Blue emphasised text signifies Year 9 extension objectives.
The 'example' links below objectives connect to a supplement of examples that illustrate what pupils should know and be able to do within a particular strand by the end of the year.

5.4 Probability |
| | use vocabulary and ideas of probability, drawing on experience
examples (90.25 KB) | interpret the results of an experiment using the language of probability; appreciate that random processes are unpredictable
examples (92.86 KB) |
| | understand and use the probability scale from 0 to 1; find and justify probabilities based on equally likely outcomes in simple contexts; identify all the possible mutually exclusive outcomes of a single event
examples (84.63 KB) | know that if the probability of an event occurring is p then the probability of it not occurring is 1 − p; use diagrams and tables to record in a systematic way all possible mutually exclusive outcomes for single events and for two successive events
examples (325.29 KB) |
| | estimate probabilities by collecting data from a simple experiment and recording it in a frequency table; compare experimental and theoretical probabilities in simple contexts
examples (151.51 KB) | compare estimated experimental probabilities with theoretical probabilities, recognising that:
• if an experiment is repeated the outcome may, and usually will, be different
• increasing the number of times an experiment is repeated generally leads to better estimates of probability
