4.4 Experimental Probability GCSE PowerPoint Lesson

In this 32-slide lesson, students will explore experimental probability by analysing simulated experiments. Students will explore how to calculate relative frequency by recording outcomes and deepen their understanding by comparing the results to theoretical probabilities. Emphasis will be placed on recognising how results can vary in short experiments and how increasing the number of trials leads to more reliable estimates. The lesson will also cover how to calculate estimated/expected value by multiplying the relevant probability by the number of trials.

The lesson includes:

• Clear, guided examples

• Discussion opportunities from Think, Pair, Share

• Mini whiteboard section to check understanding and clarify misconceptions

• Two structured tasks to practise key skills

• Challenge activity to extend and deepen learning

Perfect for engaging learners while reinforcing essential data and statistics concepts.
