Probability
How likely is it to draw a blue marble? Pupils find the likelihood of events and connect that to the probability of the event. They find the probabilities of simple events and show their probabilities on a scale.

Probability Scale
Scale up your knowledge of probability. Young mathematicians watch a video that describes probability in terms of a scale. They see how probability is a value between zero and one, representing a continuum from impossible to certain.
