Apply probability concepts in solving problems – Marion Steele
Marion’s workshop used hands-on learning experiences to explore some of the new concepts in probability at 聽NZC Level 8. This involved investigate randomness, true probability vs model estimates vs experimental estimates, and probability distribution tables and graphs.

- Fooling the teacher聽An activity to encourage students to understand what randomness looks like.
