Great expectations: probability through problems

The resources found on this page offer a new approach to teaching probability.

The articles outline the thinking behind the approach, and explain the research basis for choosing to teach probability in this way.

Then there are resources for teaching the curriculum - rich, hands-on classroom tasks that can be used to teach the necessary concepts at each stage of the secondary probability curriculum.

Finally, there are supplementary resources for exploring the mathematisation of probability. To read more about the research basis for this teaching approach, see 'Towards a new probability curriculum for secondary schools', a paper presented by Dr Jenny Gage, NRICH, at ICME 2012.
