Probability (new A level) - teaching notes, examples and exercises & homework/test

This 29-page resource covers all the required knowledge for probability in the AS part of the new A level. In every section it contains examples to work through with your class followed by an exercise of questions for students to attempt themselves (answers included).

The sections are:

1. Sample space diagrams
2. Two-way tables
3. Tree diagrams
4. Venn diagrams and set notation
5. Independent, mutually exclusive and complementary events
6. Probability distributions
7. Arranging items (preliminary work for Binomial distribution)
8. Binomial distribution

This projectable and printable resource will save you having to draw any tables/diagrams when teaching the topic and will make things easier for your students as they can just work directly on the provided tables and diagrams.

Also included is a worksheet designed to specifically practise writing cumulative probability calculations in the required form for using a calculator.

The 2 page assessment covers all aspects of the topic and fully worked solutions are provided.

Lastly, I have included a spreadsheet that calculates and illustrates probabilities for any Binomial distribution with n up to 100. You may find this resource useful to show the shape of the distribution and, in later work, how the distribution approximates a Normal distribution in certain conditions.

Here is an example of one of my A level resources that is freely available:
