Screens 4 to 9 – students write down their answers in their books, before asking someone to explain the correct answer with reasons (5 mins)
Screen 10 – Reveal one statement at a time – give students 1/2 mins to discuss the statement around their tables – ask someone from a table to give their response other comments – repeat with other statements (7/8 mins)
Screen 12 &13 to explain probability scale – discussion - possibly need reminding of fractions – decimals conversions(5 mins)
