Full GCSE Probability Course

With this bundle, you get 13 lessons for the price of 10! In fact, several whole lessons have at least two lesson’s worth of work.

This is a series of 13 mastery-style lessons on Probability. The topics include Venn Diagrams, Frequency Trees, and Probability Trees. All lessons use a pastel coloured background (which can be changed in ‘master slide view’) and the Verdana font which has been shown to be good for dyslexic students.

These lessons are fully differentiated, and they use whiteboard questions as a scaffolding method. These whiteboard questions are also particularly useful for reducing students’ maths anxiety by providing them with the correct answer which they then have to pick.

The title of the lesson is throughout the PowerPoint. This provides consistency throughout, allows students to catch up if they missed it, and takes late-comers into consideration. The date is also throughout the PowerPoint and updates automatically. This is done so that the students know exactly where it is each lesson, and to make it easier on the class teacher.

The learning objectives are designed to be as short sentences as possible to allow students to read them and write them down (if necessary) as quickly as possible. They also use a mixture of simplistic and specialised words to engages students’ thinking about definitions whilst allowing them to access the meaning of the sentences. These objectives are reviewed at the end of the lesson as a self-evaluation of learning technique. Students are awarded ‘brain’ medals depending on how well they have done.

There is a slide of 6 skills-based questions to ensure students have the skills they need to proceed with the lesson.

Each lesson in this series has a bank of practice questions on the final slide. This is designed to be used in different possible ways. It can be used as a consolidation task after the lesson, as a homework sheet, as an exit ticket (choose a question), or as a cover lesson.
