Without Panic Maths · Probability 11
This pack builds on sample spaces (Probability 8), Venn diagrams (Probability 9) and probabilities that total 1 (Probability 5).
What this pack does
This pack builds on sample spaces (Probability 8), Venn diagrams (Probability 9) and probabilities that total 1 (Probability 5). You will decide whether two events are independent and use “and → multiply” and “or → add” with reasons. You will build tree diagrams in small steps, use them to find probabilities, and choose a route when the labels are gone.
Inside every pack
Pupils tick how a topic feels before they start, and again at the end. There are no marks, so it's an honest picture of where they are.
Each topic is split into small steps. Every mini-lesson opens with one big idea and a short, plain-English explanation.
Diagrams such as a formula 'rule machine' or a place-value picture show the maths, so pupils can see it as well as read it.
Every method is modelled step by step before pupils try it, with each stage labelled so they can follow it on their own.
Questions start with prompts (what do you need to find, follow the example, check it makes sense) and gradually ask for more independence.
Common mistakes are named before pupils make them, and Mistake Detective questions ask them to find and fix errors.
Short 'explain it in your own words' prompts check that pupils understand why the maths works, not just how.
Every pack comes with a Teacher Pack: all the answers, plus reteach cards saying what to watch for, what to say, and what to try if a pupil is still stuck.
More probability packs
Pack 4 taught you to calculate the probability of a single event. Now we connect an event to everything outside it. If event A happens or it does not happen, those two possibilities cover the whole probability space.
Understand experiments, trials, results and frequencies; record repeated trials carefully; build a simple experimental probability estimate; and explain why random experiments can give different results.
Turn experiment counts into fair comparisons — and learn why more evidence usually behaves more calmly.
