Yesterday we looked at probability scales.
Today you will be recording probability as a
fraction and a decimal. Remember when
using a probability line, 0 is given to an
outcome that is impossible and 1 is given to
an outcome that is certain.
For each of today’s events, consider the
possible outcomes when determining the
likelihood. E.g., If I were to flip a coin there
are two possible outcomes. If I were to toss a
ten-sided dice, there are ten possible
outcomes.
number of possible outcomes. The
numerator will be the number of outcomes
that fit your criteria.
You need to complete your presentation
today and be practising what you are going
to record. Your final presentation
Refer to the project sheet to help you. This
presentation will only be 4-6 minutes, so
choose carefully what to present and practise
your speech a lot before recording.
Here are two videos to help get your
presentation together.
How to create a Presentation
Steps to prepare your speech (PowerPoint)
1.Organise your Information Look at all the video, PowerPoint Slides and
images you have created over the past 2
weeks and organise them into an order to
present. 2. Know what you are going to say

start of the novel?

submit as an Assignment on MS Teams. If you
would like to complete it in an exercise book,
please make sure you take a clear photo of
your responses to submit.

You can include text evidence as part of your
answer and explain it to better demonstrate
your understanding. For example:

lad really, you are”, (p. 1) shows that his Dad
has also realised that, despite the hard times
and unhappiness since his Mum left, Dennis
has grown into a good young man.

at the likelihood of landing on a striped

sharing the important facts.
3. Practise, Practise, Practise Know your facts and practise your speech a
lot. It should flow smoothly and not sound
like you are reading straight from the slides.
Time yourself to fit within the 4 to 6 min
range available, speak to the slides that
you’ve created, moving them one by one as
you talk about the next piece of information.
4. Edit, change & rearrange Don’t be afraid to change things up if it
doesn’t seem to work. Change the order of
your slides, the information you’re sharing or
the way you are presenting. Remember you
are trying to engage your audience and
inform them, so make it uniquely “YOU”.
Too hard? Too hard? Too hard? Too hard?
Listen to the audio tracks while reading. It’s
important that you are still reading along
with the text while listening!
