Taking a realistic, instead of abstract algebraic, approach this course will equip you with skills and ideas to take back to your classroom.
What topics will you cover?
- Consideration of probability from everyday experience, and a review of how it is currently taught
- Theoretical and experimental approaches, extending to consideration of frequencies
- Conditional probability and data modelling
- Representation of data, including frequency trees and Venn diagrams
- Set theory
- Independent and mutually exclusive events
What will you achieve?
By the end of the course, you'll be able to...
- Evaluate the current teaching of probability in schools.
- Apply frequency-based experimental and simulation approaches to tackling problems in probability.
- Model conditional probability scenarios, including topical real-world situations, using experiments and simulations.
- Compare theoretical and experimental approaches, focusing on the gap between ‘real-world’ and abstract treatments of probability.
- Reflect on the potential of frequency-based approaches to make the teaching of probability more meaningful, and to effectively tackle challenging exam-style questions.
