Understand probability outcomes in Year 8 Maths
Start here
Focus on probability of combined events. Start with “Calculate Outcomes from Combined Events”, then explain the idea in your own words.
Year 8 learners practise probability of combined events.
The activities include Calculate Outcomes from Combined Events, Calculate the Number of Different Combinations of Ice Creams, Calculate the Number of Different Combinations of Outfits, and related practice. The checked support below includes practice, video, teaching, worksheet. Open a resource in its provider's website and choose the format that best helps the learner explain the idea independently.
