Introduction to Chance and Likelihood
Using the language of probability (certain, likely, unlikely, impossible) to describe the likelihood of events occurring.
Key Questions
- Differentiate between an event being 'unlikely' and 'impossible'.
- Explain how to use a probability scale to rank different outcomes.
- Predict the likelihood of various events happening in daily life.

5E Model
The 5E Model structures lessons through five phases (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate), guiding students from curiosity to deep understanding through inquiry-based learning.
unit plannerMath Unit
Plan a multi-week math unit with conceptual coherence: from building number sense and procedural fluency to applying skills in context and developing mathematical reasoning across a connected sequence of lessons.
rubricMath Rubric
Build a math rubric that assesses problem-solving, mathematical reasoning, and communication alongside procedural accuracy, giving students feedback on how they think, not just whether they got the right answer.
