A blog about teaching and learning in a maths classroom.
Probability is one of those topics where it's best to “see it”.
I want to start writing more regularly to highlight some of the resources on MathsLinks and MathsFaculty, and putting them in the context of my teaching.

This is an amusing video to introduce probability… some of my Year 8s found it hilarious.
I wanted to play a multiplication bingo type game with a class the other day, so I grabbed two 10 sided dice (apparently you don’t need to call a single dice a “die” anymore) out of the cupboard. Then I thought… hey I have a projector and a laptop.
