Chance Year 1 Mathematics Unit

Teach chance through familiar Year 1 contexts with a complete set of editable and printable resources. Students learn to describe events as impossible, possible or certain, then apply the vocabulary to weather events, mystery-bag outcomes, spinners, board games and simple chance stories.

The editable PowerPoint presentation supports explicit whole-class teaching and guided discussion. A matching ten-question editable quiz provides an engaging review or formative check. Printable displays, reference cards, activities, worksheets and assessments make it easy to move from modelling to supported practice and independent evidence of learning.
