Learning Objective
At the end of the lesson you will know what probability means and how to talk about how likely things are to happen.
What Is Probability?
Probability is how likely something is to happen. It helps us predict chance events, like rolling a dice or picking a card.
Impossible, Possible, Certain
Some things can never happen (impossible), some things can happen (possible), and some things will definitely happen (certain).
Let's Explore with Dice
If you roll a dice, is it possible to get a 7? Is it certain to get a number between 1 and 6?
Probability Words
It is likely to rain in winter.
Likely
Unlikely
It is unlikely to see a lion at the park.
Flipping a Coin
A coin can land on heads or tails. There is an equal chance for each side.
Let's Practise: Which Is More Likely?
Would you pick a red, blue, or yellow button from a jar with 10 red, 2 blue, and 1 yellow? Which is most likely?
Lesson Recap
